He may have just burned the roof of his mouth on food or something. I have that right now.

No  way to tell you what it is...I can see it. I do know this...I have seen, more than once, an extra "tooth" come thru a child's roof of the mouth. It's never been lethal, can be cared for by your Pediatrician OR a Pedi DDS. It's not common, but not rare. It also could be something else, so let someone in the medical field check it out soon, as not to crowd  or alter your child's incoming teeth.
