I had a blood python that developed a small abscess on the front of his mouth. I looked inside and things looked normal to me. I brought it to the vet (awesome exotics vet, now a zoo vet), and he visually diagnosed mouth rot but even after his good explanation I still couldn't see what he was seeing. A round of antibiotic injections cleared it up fine.
That's just a long way of saying that I agree that a vet visit would be well worth the trouble. I haven't had any other related instances of this sort of thing, but if I did I would see the vet without hesitation.
