D
Small, white palpable nodules on the hard palate and gum margins, called Epstein's pearls, are abnormal. The pearls are small, white cysts that feel hard when palpated and result from fragments of epithelial tissue trapped during palate formation. Absence of deciduous teeth in a 12-month-old infant; light pink, grade 2+ tonsils; and a continuous roof of the mouth with a slight arch are all normal findings.
