Tongue and non-painful bumps

I have had 2 bumps each on both sides of my tongue, close to the tip for about a week now. They don't hurt but I recently noticed them when looking at a canker sore I had about 2 weeks ago.
I don't know if maybe my tongue is irritated from the orajel I used to numb the canker sore, or if the toothpaste i'm currently using is too harsh, they are the only things I can think of. I looked a little on the internet and read something about irritated papille, that seems to be the closest explanation I can find. I also just changed my toothbrush right before this happened. What do you think? Concerned, kris62303

Yeah I have the same thing. I have these sore wisdom teeth and the last time I talked to a dentist he said that my problems would probably go away if i had my wisdom teeth removed. I don't want to remove them. ha ha.

It doesn't sound too serious but too be sure, you should have an examination done by a dentist.   It is difficult to advise without seeing your tongue.
