Sialolith: Most likely it is a sialolith which is a small white calcified stone which can block your salivary duct (a duct where your saliva flows out from under your tongue) and cause the area to swell up and become painful. You need to see your dentist immediately to see if he or she can remove it. You may possibly have to see an oral surgeon for a minor surgical procedure to remove it.

2 questions: "What should I do" is easy...make an appointment with your Dentist for an examination. There are literally scores of reasons to have a painful white lump. "What is it" is a question your Dentist is trained to answer once he/she has had the opportunity to examine you.
