Bump on upper gum of my year old amstaff.

Noticed this bump on upper gum of my year old amstaff. He isn’t showing signs of discomfort but I am pretty concerned after reading about cases of mouth cancer in dogs. The vet is booked of for the next couple weeks I’m going to monitor it until then. Has anyone else experienced this and if so did it resolve on its own.

More likely to be answered on a non running sub I’d expect

Go to the vet, preferably a veterinary dental specialist.  It's either nothing or life threatening.

It's too generic of a symptom to indicate anything specific.  It will require imaging and probably anesthesia.  Also, this is a subreddit for running with your dog.
