Painful bump on roof of mouth

[Maddy4589]

Hi all I’ve recently discovered this red bump on the roof of my mouth.. it’s quite painful. From picture it doesn’t look like a bump but I can feel it with my finger?? Does this look concerning?

If it's new it could be from a scratch and will settle. If not, see your dentist.

I would make an appointment as soon as you can, because it might take a while to get seen. You can always have a check up or cancel it if the bump goes away.

It’s been there for about 2 days

Definitely get it checked with your dentist but I had the same thing and it was a blocked/inflamed gland of some sort, it comes and goes occasionally but the dentist wasn't concerned and it doesn't bother me much (now I know its nothing sinister at least).

That’s my worst fear, it’s only been there 2 days but my health anxiety is so bad

I’d give it a couple of weeks and then see a dentist. Perhaps book an appt now for then, you can cancel it nearer the time when it has hopefully gone.

Did you get it figured out?

experiencing the same. did you get a diagnosis?

I had something very similar.
It was an infection and a root canal sorted it out .

Could be an ulcer? I get them quite a lot on the roof of my mouth, and they are bloody sore!

I had something similar and it just went on its own.
Dentist said most concerning things tend to be painless

I have something similar right now. I only noticed it yesterday and today it’s sore (perhaps from prodding it with my tongue constantly.) My health anxiety is dreadful lately.
