What Causes A Lump On Gum Line Just Under The Nose?
I have a hard lump on my gum line right under my nose. It's not painful, but it puts some pressure on my front right tooth. The pressure isn't constant, and mostly occurs at night when I'm laying down. My teeth aren't sensitive to cold or heat. The lump sprang up one evening about a week ago and I thought that it could be related to my allergies/sinuses. But now I have that under control and the lump is still there. What could this be and should I go to a dentist or a doctor for this?

Your front tooth I.e. the central incisor has decayed . And this has caused pus formation underneath.
Go to a dentist and ask for a root canal treatment
