What Causes A Swollen Area On Top Of The Mouth Near The Tooth?
On top of my mouth located by eye tooth I have a oval form shape, it swells up during night hour and is hard at touch. During day hours the swelling goes down, but it is still hard at touch. Does not hurt and does not feel sore. Do I need to worry?

No need to worry till it hurts, feels sore or you start to run a temperature. A dental opinion if you really want to know what it is. Sounds like an impacted dentition or a dentigerous cyst that fluctuates.
