I have had painful swollen area in the upper palate of my mouth. i have been to the dentist today and he is not sure what it is, help! ?

ENT problem: You need to see an ear, nose and throat specialist. What you are describing sounds like a very treatable problem. (Examples include local infection and a foreign body lodged in the palate with inflammation surrounding it)
