Swollen spot on gums

by Chris
(USA)

I have a spot on my gum in front left side between the 2nd and 3rd tooth that is swollen and now causing my tooth to move.

Sadly this has been going on for about 2 years, it has'nt been painful except when I try to floss vigoursly to remove what I believe caused the problem.

I didnt go to any dentist because well, no excuses, I fear Dentist (no offense..lol).

One day I had a piece of a fish bone jam into my gum by the tooth, I removed what I thought was all of the bone but the swelling does not receed, most likely there is still a piece of it in there.

Flossing does not produce any evidence of anything. The gum is not discolored in anyway (pink), but has a very solid lump about the size of a raisin.

I will be visiting a dentist when my new insurance kicks in, but to maybe prepare me for what it could be, what are your thoughts and where should I look to compare my issue with pictures to maybe come up with the dental term.

Thank you for any help.
