It is an inflamed gum papilla. Visit a dentist, probably there is tartar or plaque deep seated. Meanwhile I can do warm salt water rinsing

It's inflamed gum tissue or something known as a gingival polyp. If you have no tartar/calculus then the cause needs to be determined followed by excision of the lesion. If there is a good amount of tartar, then once it is removed and mild curettage done, the lesson will subside. Visit a dentist for further evaluation.
