Normal anatomy: Your 15 minute Google search is nowhere near your Dentist's 10,000+ hour education and years of experience. Probably normal anatomy, but why don't you have someone with a Doctorate in cranio-facial anatomy (your Dentist) take a look.

Minor salivary gland: There are a number of different locations in the mouth where saliva is discharged from major and minor salivary glands. There are many minor salivary glands on the roof of the mouth - especially the soft palate area.
