How are your teeth feeling?

I have had a lump as big as a pea on the right side of the upper jaw since a few days ago. I don't have any pain now, but I had some pain a week ago.

1. It's better to explain WHO this refers to.
Early evaluation is always best, so please schedule an appointment soon. In the meantime, have you noticed any other changes, like redness, tenderness, or difficulty chewing?

I'd like to make an appointment as soon as possible. Nothing but the lump unusual happens to me. The dentist said my bite caused some problems and made mouthpieces to prevent teeth from grinding during sleep.

1. UNUSUAL related to NOTHING, not the LUMP.
2, 3. You need the present perfect tense here to connect the past with the present.
4. You need to explain WHO this refers to.
Absolutely! It's wise to get the lump checked out as soon as possible. Did the dentist mention what they thought the lump might be, or if it could be related to the bite problems they mentioned?

Ah, I needed to give more information because I was distracted by traffic noises. Yes, the dentist assumed my bite problems and teeth grinding had a deep connection with a lump. Also, she said if it repeatedly happens, removing the filling and root canal treatment will be necessary. The ceramic filling was out of pocket and not covered by national healthcare insurance. I will have to pay it again for the new filling. Neither do most private insurers cover ceramic filling. I found one insurer available to cover it just now.

1. Usually uncountable as a general point.
2, 5. The first time we talk about something we say ‘a’. Then we use 'the' because the other person knows what we are talking about. E.g. “I had a sandwich and a banana for lunch. The sandwich wasn’t very nice but the banana was delicious.”
3. OUT OF POCKET refers to EXPENSES which you claim back later.
4. No pronoun needed here - refers to a different future thing.
6, 7, 9. You have not mentioned them before.
8, 10. General point.
