Tiny white bump on tip of tongue?
This is probably (transient lingual papillitis, sometimes called "lie bumps". They are very painful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie_bumps This isn't likely to be a canker sore; while they can occur on the tongue, they aren't usually tiny. I've had these before, and in my experience you simply have to wait for them to go away.

Small, white, painless bump on tip of tongue?
White bumps on tongue surfaces of the mouth are caused by an unhealthy balance of anaerobic bacteria. This bacterium is a normal presence in the mouth. However, many things can cause this bacterium to grow too fast and become uncontrolled. The most common causes of excessive bacteria are cracks or fissures in the tongue and dry mouth. An anaerobic bacterium grows in environments where oxygen is absent. For example, in the bottom of cracks of fissure that oxygen cannot get into. As this bacterium grows out of control, it can form white spots on the tongue or eventually completely coat the surface of the tongue. This bacteria feeds on tiny particles of food left behind on the tongue. These may even feed on alcohol and sugars found in mouthwashes that are supposed to keep your mouth healthy. Some bad breath products like mouth sprays even contain these ingredients. Treatment Options for White Bumps on Tongue Surfaces If you have a white sore on tongue surfaces in your mouth, there are several treatment options. The best products will contain oxygenating ingredients. One example is the TheraBreath line of products. These products contain Oxyd-8, which is effective at penetrating deep into the fissure and cracks of a tongue. It can help to quickly work to restore a healthy balance of the anaerobic bacterium in your mouth. The best product of this line to remove white spots is TheraBreath Oxygenating Toothpaste. This product works well when brushed on the tongue but for the best results it should be used along with a tongue cleaner or a tongue scraper.

What do white circles on my tongue mean?
There can be many causes to white circles on the tongue.My first thought it “geographic” tongue (one form pictured above). There is a peculiar condition of the tongue that takes the form of denudations ( taste buds disappearing or shrinking) of the lingual surface in patches of redness that shift in position from time to time over hours and days which can result in white circles and/or lines. The cause of the condition is not known; there may be some relationship to psoriasis. There is no treatment for it. The condition is largely asymptomatic except for slight tingling when sharp food is taken.Other causes are Thrush (a yeast infection), Lichen Planus and Leukoplakia (a precancerous condition). As Austin Rawlings wrote, it is best to get a diagnosis from your dentist.
