What causes small bump with white center on the roof of the mouth?
Patient: I ate breakfast this morning and my tounge brushed the roof of my mouth and I noticed a hard bump. When I got a closer look at the bump I was small but it had what looked like a white center. I kept messing with the bump with my tounge until some jelly like materials came out . What is this?
