Posted , 3 users are following.
Hello i'm 17 yo female. i just found a tiny bump on the roof of my mouth and was searching for articles saying what it was and some said it might be oral cancer. im really freaking out about that and doubled checked the symptoms as they don't match up and i know i should see a dentist but i'm really scared to do that and i have no idea what else i could do to get over the fear and actually have it checked out. can someone help me out with this? please? thankyou.

Is the tiny lump a different color to the rest of your mouth?
When you state tiny, roughly what size would you say it was in millimetres?
Just because it is a lump does not inevitably mean it is mouth cancer. You are very young, so it lowers the chances of mouth cancer.
Do you smoke, or ever smoked?
There is a lot of questions, that require answers - obviously, a dentist could tell you more, unless you are trying to avoid the cost, which in some cases can be avoided, but in others you may need surgery.
If you are 17 and live in the UK, and still in further education you do not need to pay for treatment. It all depends on what you are studying.
Regards,
Les.

Don't panic ... Does the bump hurt any ?
The way you are describing it is like abscess which is a gum boil type of situation.
