What is a small wart looking growth on the roof of the mouth, and the mouth bleeds when brushing teeth from the roof area?

Possible Diagnoses: A verruca vulgaris or papilloma both fit the description of a growth that may appear like a wart in the oral cavity. The definitive diagnosis can only be made with a biopsy or excision of the lesion, processed for histopathology and examined under a microscope for interpretation.

Get it checked: Get it checked. There are wart like lesions that grow in the mouth but it should not be bleeding. The general dentist or an oral surgeon can advise you what to do.
