Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM,
Read your query, as you feel of small circle on your gum dont worry this is not mouth cancer it can be inflammation in gum due to localized enlargement of gingiva , infection in tooth due to caries secondary to Periapical abscess , or localized inflammation of periodontal ligament secondary to Periodontal Abscess .
I will suggest you to consult your dentist for examination and evaluation of gums and rule out the cause of circle in gum , in meanwhile do warm saline rinses , maintain proper oral hygiene , use regularly mouthwash .
Hope this will help you
