SUDDEN Soft Painless Bump/Bubble found on Roof of Mouth.
hey there-
Tonight I noticed a sudden soft painless bump-bubble on the roof of my mouth. The color is Clearish/White and the size is a bit smaller than an eraser on a pencil. I'm not sure if I should try to pop it or if I need to see a doc or wait it out. IF I need to go to the doctor....do I go to a dentist? I wasn't sure what type of doctor would deal with this. It's definitely NOT a cold sore, canker sore or STD. And again...so far it's painless. Thank you so much! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -S

If the lesion persists more than a week and enlarges, you may need to see an oral surgeon.

@scottma Thank you SO much for your suggestion! Strangely, the thing popped the next morning. I have no idea what it was. But I'm so glad it went away quickly. I will keep an eye out on the area. Much appreciated!!! :)
Your descriptions suggests mucous retention phenomenon.
