You should definitely have a dentist see you. If this has been present for a while, it should probably be biopsied.
Could be any number of things from a canker sore to wisdom tooth problem to cancer. See a dentist immediately.

This needs to be checked clinically.
Please see an oral surgeon for an evaluation and possible biopsy.
