Biopsy on Bump on Gum after Consultation; tobacco user

[23yogrizzlyuser]

I will be having a biopsy done on Saturday May 10th 2014 on my lower tooth #20. I am posting a photo before the biopsy, will post one after, and after the results are provided to me.

I understand the vast majority of users of this site will post once or twice and then never post again. Hopefully I will get a solid 4 posts or so and then move on, but I figure if someone like me has this same issue in the future, maybe this will be of some help.

Naturally, any thoughts on how or what the bump looks/looks like would be appreciated.

I can only remember that my DDS said something along the lines of ".... dysplasia." As you can tell from my user name, I am a smokeless tobacco user, which is why I am feeling pretty anxious about what it could be... Anyway, here is what I've got under the hood:

And here's how it looks after getting sliced and diced by my dentist!

True to my word: the result of the test was that the white thing was a Fibroma, and the determined cause was a "trauma."

This must have been such a worry for you - so glad it wasn't anything sinister.
