If you have a bump on the roof of your mouth, you should consult your doctor or dentist. Here’s what can cause such oral bumps.
Potential causes:
– Canker sores, oral candidiasis, oral mucous cysts and cold sores from the herpes virus.
– Teeth inflicted injuries.
– Torus palatinus (extra bone growth), epstein pearls (bumps on baby’s mouth), hyperdontia (extra tooth growth) and squamous papilloma (painless, cauliflower-like bumps).
Bleeding and odd patches might be a sign of oral cancer.
See the doctor or dentist soon to avoid complications.
