Hi everyone, I have a question because
maybe some of you have had this before.
Ok, a few weeks ago, I felt a small lump
on the roof of my mouth (hard palate) it
was very painful at first, and I had alot
of toothache in one of my front teeth.
Anyway, after examining the "lump" in the
mirror, it looks like one of the ridges on
the top of my mouth. It's just the same
as all the others, except when I roll my
tongue (of put my finger on it) I can feel
a lump. I am male and 19 and very
worried. It is about the size of spot
that you get on your face, but maybe a bit
smaller. Also, it seems quite soft and
not a hard "lump."
it "seems" to change size too, somedays
the lump (or swelling) is small, and
sometimes it's bigger. But everyone who
I have showed it to has said that it is
one of the ridges on my hard palate, but I
have no idea why a "lump" has suddenly
formed there.
I thought I would ask for help on here,
because if it's happening to me, it's
bound to have happened to someone else
too.
Any ideas on what this is? I am really
starting to worry about it.
Thank you in advance

Go see your dentist-it may be fine,but if
you do not remember seeing or feeling it
before-go get checked out.
Good luck,
