What Could The Pain, Red And White Bumps, And Patches On Gums Mean?

Hi. About a week ago I experienced some pain in my gums around my bottom front teeth, but ignored this thinking it was due to my wisdom teeth coming in. then last night the roof of my mouth became very itchy and it still has not gone away. This morning I looked in the mirror and noticed a red patch on the roof of my mouth (Which is the source of the itch) And two white bumps where the pain was on by gums. what could this be?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your question, the pain and erythematous areas, the bump could be because of an infected tooth causing formation of pus resulting in pain swelling and reddened mucosa...another possible cause could be a fungal infection or errossive lichen planus which produces erythematous areas with burning sensation......consult your oral physician to have a look and examine completely and give prompt treatment...you need to take some radiographs of the involved teeth area... i hope my answer will help you...
