A little white spot on my gum?!
Question: A little white spot on my gum?
It doesn't hurt or anything, but i was brushing my teeth yesterday and saw it.
Its only about the size of the very tip of a ball point pin. Does anyone have any idea to what it might be?
I also have one very small healing ulcer right beside of it on the inside of my cheek, but its basically gone now.
I'm also 15 idk if that helps, but if anyone has any idea to what it could be would you let me know please? :) Thanks!

It is probably a canker soar. They usually hurt -- but not always. I have gotten them after eating sharp cheddar cheese. The cause does vary, though. It should go away in a couple of days. Paint it with iodine.
Its probably a canker sore, it may or may not hurt. If it just started growing it may hurt in a few days if it doesn't go away. In that case either gargle warm water with salt/baking soda, gargle with hydrogen peroxide, apply salt/baking soda directly to it (I do this occasionally when I want the pain to numb out).
probably a blister of sort. and sometimes infected gums. get some peroxide rinse thoroughly for a couple of days and you should be good.
could be herpes
