My dog has white growths in his mouth. Are they warts? Should I worry?

My dog has white growths in his mouth. The big one has been getting bigger over time. The small one is new and there’s a second small one very close to it. What is it? Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 6 months and 23 days old | 34 lbs

This appears to be a papilloma virus wart. They are common in puppies. I suggest you leave it alone. It will probably go away by itself in a few weeks. If it doesn't you can take him to a vet for an exam. DO NOT apply anything to it.
