hello
i can think of one thing and that is it is probably ulcer
dont worry it will go away in 2 or 3 days
if it does not go away you can apply an ulcer gel
that will treat you well

There are many possibilities of what is causing the white spot.  It is important for you to have a dentist do an examination to determine the cause of the white spot.
