I'm a dentist.
Seven weeks is awfully early. Awfully early. Possible, yes. Likely, no.
It could be an area of hyperkeratosis from feeding. It could also be a little bit of hypertrophic tissue that is often present at the midline.
Have your dentist or pediatrician check it out.

it can be a tooth but at 7 weeks!!! It is most likely a canker sore. Canker sores are thick, hard white patches inside the mouth that cannot be wiped off . They are also painful white ulcers, an open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane that fails to heal in the mouth. They appear most often on the tongue, inside the cheeks, and inside the lips. Unlike cold sores, canker sores are not contagious, but in some people, they keep coming back. Canker sores cause pain that may make it difficult to speak or eat.

Its not a tooth. Baby is too young.
Its normal for new babies to have little white looking bumps on their gums, and look like small white blisters.
It will go away on its own..
A tooth does not look like that.. a tooth shows under the gum first.

This is probably just calcium. I have 3 kids and I thought the same thing with my first. You will have no question when it is a tooth. My girls got there first teeth at 4-6months old.

I just read the other day in one of my baby books that little bumps on a baby's gums and/or roof of their mouth are immature oil glands and that they will disappear on their own
