My husband said he saw a small white dot on roof of dogs mouth but it did not look infected. Should I take him to vet?

Yes, I would take Rocket into the vet. It could be he broke a tooth in the back of his mouth chewing on this rawhide, and it can be hard to see the back of a dog's mouth when they are awake. Definitely have him checked out by a vet. Best of luck.
