Welcome to HCM.

I recommend you to go for a biopsy of lesion. This is a fibrosis due to constant irritation from the tooth.You can consult a oral pathologist for this.

You can take amoxicillin for a week course as the lesion is secondarily infected.
Apply topical metronidazole ointment.

Regards.
