What Causes A Hard Growth At The Back Of The Tongue?

I have a hard small white deposit on the side of my tounge towards the back. It seems to be attached and feels hard. What could it be? I had my teeth cleaned not to long ago and they didn't say anything about it, I noticed it a few days afterwards.
