Not to scare you, but it could be a cyst or a tumor. And, I'm not one of those people that automatically jump to conclusions. I had a 'stem' growing out my jaw, and it was really painful, and it turned out to be a tumor. If he gets listless, or it hurts too bad, I'd suggest taking him to the dentist.
