As I was looking at my puppy I noticed he has a small white bump on his bottom lip. What might this be and should I take him to a vet near me?

I wouldn't rush him to the vet just yet. Just monitor the area for the next few days to a week. It should go away on its own if it is just a bug bite or minor skin reaction. If it gets worse or doesn't resolve then its best to have it looked at after the wait and see period is over, especially if Beaux is not bothered by it.
