How To Treat The Ulcer At The Back Rear Side Of My Tongue?

I have a small white lump that my dentist said was an ulcer at the back rear side of my tongue. Not painful or inflamed, about 3mm in diameter. Can only see it when stick tongue right out. No change in size or surrounding area. Had it about 4 months and it is not painful. Do not know its there until I look!
