I examined the image at 100% and enlarged it. This is not enough to make a definitive diagnosis, because an intraoral photo cannot show the tooth roots, bone, periodontal pockets, or pulp. But there are several findings that deserve attention—especially because you report that it is getting worse every day.

What I can see

1. Gum/soft-tissue inflammation

• The gum beside the posterior teeth looks noticeably red and irritated.
• There appears to be localized swelling/fullness around the tooth-gum margin.
• This could be related to plaque-induced gingival inflammation, food impaction, trauma from chewing, periodontal inflammation, or an infection around a tooth.

2. Multiple small whitish circular areas

• The cluster on the inner cheek/adjacent mucosa is important to examine.
• From this photograph, I cannot safely call these an abscess or pus.
• They could represent friction/cheek irritation, minor mucosal changes, or another benign process, but persistent or enlarging white/red lesions need an in-person oral examination.

3. Teeth

• Several posterior teeth show visible discoloration/plaque deposits and possible early-to-moderate surface changes.
• The photograph does not allow me to determine whether there is deep decay, a cracked tooth, or infection extending toward the root.
• An X-ray may be necessary if there is pain, swelling, sensitivity, or a suspected dental infection.

My concern about waiting 14 days

If the area is progressively worsening every day, I would not deliberately wait 14 days before having it examined.

If this is simply traumatic irritation or gingivitis, it may improve after removing the irritant and improving oral hygiene. But if there is a developing dental/periodontal infection, the problem can progress from localized gum inflammation to a dental abscess or spreading soft-tissue infection. A dental abscess generally does not resolve by itself and requires dental treatment.

A reasonable target is a dental examination within 24–48 hours, particularly if the swelling or redness is increasing.

What could "scale up" over 14 days?

Potential progression, depending on the actual cause:

Localized inflammation → periodontal pocket/infection → abscess → facial/jaw swelling → spreading infection.

That's not a prediction that this will happen to this case. The photograph alone cannot establish that. But increasing swelling, pain, bad taste/pus, fever, swollen lymph nodes, or difficulty opening the mouth would make infection substantially more concerning.

What I would do now

1. Arrange a dental examination as soon as possible, rather than observing for another 14 days.
2. Ask the dentist to examine the gum and the posterior teeth individually.
3. Ask whether periodontal probing and a dental X-ray are indicated.
4. Have the dentist specifically examine the white circular mucosal lesions.
5. Continue gentle brushing with fluoride toothpaste and clean between the teeth.
6. Don't squeeze, puncture, scrape, or burn the swollen area.
7. Avoid repeatedly touching it with your finger or a sharp object.
8. If there is significant pain, use only an appropriate over-the-counter pain medicine according to its label and your personal medical restrictions.

Don't wait for a routine appointment if these appear

Go for urgent/emergency assessment if swelling rapidly increases or extends into the face/neck, or if there is difficulty breathing, swallowing, speaking, or opening the mouth. Those can indicate a potentially serious spreading infection.

Cebu dental options

I searched the Cebu area and your directory. Your directory specifically provides a "Find a Dental Clinic Near You" function and lists clinics in Cebu City and surrounding areas.

Your Cebu dental clinic directory

Some nearby Cebu City options returned by the local search include:

• Near Dental Clinic - Mabolo
• Near Dental Clinic - Camputhaw
• Cebu Dental Care Center
• Affinity Dental Clinics Cebu
• One Nadela Dental Group - Cebu

Bottom line: I would classify this as needs prompt dental assessment, not a "wait 14 days and see" situation, because you specifically report progressive worsening. The image does not prove an abscess, but the combination of localized gum inflammation and worsening symptoms warrants an examination.
