What Treatment Is Suggested For Tiny Painful Lump On The Roof Of The Mouth?
Hey there I am 20 years old and I have had a tiny bump/lump in the roof of my mouth now for maybe 2 months, there has been no pain and it hasnt changed shape or size since i felt it first with my tongue. I used mirror angles to get a closer look at it today as I have started to worry because it hasn't disappeared. It is white and is slightly raised out from the roof of my mouth and there is no red rings/patches near or around it. I've done some searching around the internet for photos but haven't come up with anything similar, would be great if you could help!

good evening dear
the problem which you are describing seems to be a palatal tori, is that lump hard??? if it then it is most likely to be a tori, in this case you have nothing to worry, it is like an extra piece of bone in your roof of mouth, if it irritating you while speaking or eating, you can get it excised by a oral and maxillofacial surgeon nearby your locality.
