What Could Cause A Small Lump Under The Tongue?

Hi I was writing because I have a small lump under my tongue it doesn't hurt at all it doesn't move it the same color as everything else in my mouth. I went to the dentist she said shes 100% shore shes not worried about it. But to ease my mind she send me to an specialist to look at it. And you cant see it its just small lump. What do you think?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
If the lump is not painful to touch, and if it is normal in colour also then it can be just a normal finding.
As there are some salivary glands opening below tongue which can appear like this, so there is nothing to worry. but if you feel any symptoms in that then you should visit your dentist.
Hope it will help you.
I find this answer helpful
