Found this a week ago and assumed a mouth ulcer, the discolouration has cleared up but small round white thing still there feels hard and smooth, dentist friend had a look and didn't really know so has recommended an experienced dentist who is in the area in a couple of weeks and just keep an eye on it until then. No problems eating etc, doesn't seem sore, any ideas?

an ulcer or a rub. try some bongela for a few days.. personally i wouldnt panic, just observe for a few days..

It could be a sore caused by migrating bot fly larve.

Sorry for dragging this up again, the spall white area is still there dentist has no idea what it is, still no swelling/not sore and no problems eating, of it's a bot fly how long until the white spot would go?

I had a small hard flat spot like this appear on my own gum a couple of years ago. It was biopsied and came back as " normal gum tissue". It certainly looks like the spot I had so perhaps its just a strange piece of gum tissue.
