small reoccuring bump on roof of mouth
 Login/Join 
Posted
hello all,
I am a 28 year old male, 1/2pack a day smoker and i have the occasional drink. About five monthes ago i noticed a small bump about the size of a bb on the left middle side of the roof of my mouth. I usually scatch it with my fingernail, it goes away, seeming to leave a little scar tissue and then returns. I have an appointment with my dentist in two days for a filling and i want to bring it to his attention. They didnt notice anything when they did their initial assesment during my check-up. Am i just being a hypercondriac? This is consuming me.

Hi j-luc

If it comes and goes, it might be a chronic infection (from a tooth?) that builds up to swelling that discharges and settles when scratched. You are seeing your dentist in two days so please ask about it. Let us know how you get on.

Thinking j-luc, i don't think smoking is allowed on the starship enterprise!

Best wishes

Hello j-luc

No, it doesn't present the way you described it. But do ask your dentist about it.
