What Does A Big Bump On Gum Indicate?

My daughter is 7 yes old. She just had her six month checkup just before Halloween. I just noticed a big bump on her back gum. She said it hurts. I never seen anything like it. Planning on calling our family dentist in the morning. But was hoping for answers tonight from the Internet.
