A member asked:
I have tiny white bumps on my gums just recently started brushing more, the bumps don't hurt at all, what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
White bumps: Could be anything from a cyclical harmless virus to oral cancer. Cannot tell without physical examination. Any red or white lesions in the mouth should be evaluated. See a Pro. Call your Dentist for an examination.
