What Could The Bump In Hard Palate Indicate?

Hi, I have a tiny hard boney like white bump in the middle of my hard palate. It's been there for about 6 months, sometimes I notice it other times I don't. It's not sore or anything. I once picked it off and it went away for a while but now it's back.. What could it be?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the bump in the hard palate could because of a tooth or gum infection resulting in periapical or peridontal abscess, or it can be a minor salivary gland tumor. consult your oral physician and get it examined and take radiographs like OPG, occlusal radiograph to rule out all these things. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
