Hi this looks like a tongue bite or pin point trauma. It is not serious and will heal quickly.
Next Steps
you should make sure you do not agitate that area so gentle brushing around only, avoid spicy food. You may also consider an over the counter NSAID if the pain is intense and/or interfering with function or speech.
Health Tips
if it does not resolve in 7-10 days please consult a dentist in clinic
