A member asked:
Have a little white circle on gums it has been there for 2weeks it hurt for the first couple of days but is now painless.seeing dentist in 2weeks.i think it maybe an ulcer.also had a cut above it which has now healed.could it be serious.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: But possibly yes. Chances are very small, but not non-existent, that it is serious. Your Dentist will be able to examine the lesion and determine its severity. What may be helpful would be to put a millimeter ruler up next to the lesion and take a close-up selfie of the lesion every day between now and your appointment. Then show the series to your Dentist.
