Re: Lump on roof of mouth
It could be something simple like a wart - I had one removed in my mouth.
You need to see a dentist to get it looked at really.
It could also be a burn or just irritation.
Do you suffer with Health Anxiety - is this why you are asking?

Re: Lump on roof of mouth
so ive been googling for hours trying to find answers, which i know is a bad idea
ive found descriptions of minor salivary gland tumors that match my description..a hard lump same color as the skin at the junction of the hard and soft palate along the midline of the roof of the mouth.
im posting out of desperation hoping someone has experienced anything similar...
the anxiety is a trip...

Hi, I had a problem with a salivary duct about 15 years ago. Sometimes they can become narrowed or develop a stone. I've got a little test eat something very very sour to get the gland to produce more saliva and see if it gets bigger. If the duct is blocked by a stone or narrowed it will swell. When i ate something sour it would swell so much i had a bump appear at my jawline by my upper back teeth. Also i don't think you have salivary glands in your palate, they are under your tongue and where i had my swelling.

Re: Lump on roof of mouth
I have something exactly what you are describing and also noticed it about a week ago. I was JUST at the dentist for a cleaning about 6 weeks ago so I'm assuming all is ok. I've never smoked and I don't drink.
Re: Lump on roof of mouth
I saw an ENT today,
he wasnt sure what it was but suggested it could have to do with me being sick and having slight flu symptoms recently.
he prescribed me an antibiotic
the visit didnt really alleviate any of the anxiety. what im experiencing resembles many descriptions of certain tumors. i think im going to call back tomorrow and demand a biopsy. the doctor said he wouldnt perform one but they must have to if i demand it?
Leslie, how old are you? could you describe your lump?
