I discovered this dot a few months ago, to be honest I never really cared about it. And well, im not the best at brushing my teeth either. I have not had any pain related to it. The only thing that maybe relates to it is the fact that I have a dry throath almost all the time. I did also see more of theese white dots around my tounge but they don't make me feel pain, they just look weird.

Good day

This looks like either fungiform or filliform papillae which are normal anatomical features. This one might be a bit larger due to inflammation.
