ask your dentist... I wouldnt be cutting anything off especially not knowing what it is.
What you are talking about is probably the opening to a salivary gland duct. Look at it in the mirror and massage the side of your face right in front of your ear, you'll see some saliva come out of it more than likely. You should have one on the other side of your mouth too :)
a gag reflex is a reflex not a part of your anatomy. you're talking about the uvula that hangs from the top of your soft palate. the other thing you should leave alone unless it starts to hurt.
please ask your dentist about it so you could be sure is it really.
good luck..
