I don't have dental for another two months. (I started a new job)
Any idea on what this can be?

Yes, it does sound like a piece of bone. It should come out on it's own, but if the surrounding area becomes infected you should see a dentist. Also, rinse with a 1/2 tsp. salt to a cup or 1/2 cup of warm water. You will find it soothing.
its a bone shard, considering you situation with the dental ins, I'd go ahead and schedule a visit for 2 months from now (after your ins kicks in). You should be fine, it'll just be a little annoying.
Since it takes quite a while to get into the dentist anymore I would schedule it now. I have the same thing... it is just a small piece of bone that naturally rises as gum shrinks. You will be fine. Good luck!
Just a little bone spur so very simple for the dentist to remove won't take 2 minutes!! Doc W
