Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Loose tissue like growth on inert cheek can be most probably fibrous tissue overgrowth also known as Fibroma..

It can occur due to chronic irritation of the area like cheek bite, injury with sharp cusps of teeth, injury with dental instruments etc..

So first of all get it checked by an Oral Surgeon..

If it is a Fibroma then it has to be removed with a small surgical procedure under local anaesthesia..
The Fibroma is completely excised. ..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
