Mouth Queries Again - Reassurance Please?

[reddevil]

Me again,

I was yet again searching around my mouth with my tongue and on the left cheek and right cheek (inside mouth of cause), I can feel flaps of skin on each size.

Does anybody else feel these little flaps of skin inside mouth on both cheeks? When I look at them in the mirror they look like little lumps!

I'm suffering of late with health anxiety in my mouth as I have another soreness and raised skin top left of mouth and I'm very worried on mouth cancer?

By the teeth?

Tony,

Don't worry I have them to, sometimes they are worse and I think it is due to when I am anxious I clench my jaw/teeth when I am asleep and this sometimes includes indenting the cheek with your teeth when you clench! They are perfectly normal.

You've got to stop looking for stuff in my mouth red devil at the end of the day. It does seem to be an obsession.
Get the dentist to have a look, when they say its fine, dont go looking for whats not there. i went the other day & read the poster saying what the dentists looking at & its not just at your teeth.

I found I suffered a lot from mouth ulcers when I was real bad

Don't believe everything you think.

Hi!

Yes, I have them too - I have one either side by my top set of teeth and one either side between both sets of teeth (which I think I bite when I'm anxious, even in my sleep, so they get bigger at times).

Hope this reassures you and you get some peace of mind.

Take care,
Caroline

To be honest I've never looked at mine! However I've just had a look in the mirror and mine are look like lumps too (but feel like flaps of skin when I run my tongue over them).

Relax, I'm sure you are fine and this is completely normal.

Hi Tony,

Yep! I have those little bumps on both sides of my mouth. Feel like little nobbles of skin, near the back teeth.

Every now and then mine get swollen and irritated. I noticed them years ago. One's slightly bigger than the other. The really do feel a little odd on the tounge, but I've had them for ages and my mouth seems OK.

Hope this helps.

Graham.

Hi all and thankyou for replys.

I went doctors, he said they are normal but mine is infected and has two ulcers near it.
