Inner lower lip bumps

Hi All

Just joined, first post. I am a former smokeless tobbaco user, been free of it for 6months now and going strong. Recently I've been more and more worried my past would catch up with me in the form of mouth cancer. I have bumps along my inner lower lip, preety much directly accross from my lower teeth. Most are across from the caninne teeth. I can move them around a little with my toungue, they are visible if I pull my lower lip out and you examine the flesh you will see bumps below, but the flesh itself is normal color and texture, just raised from the small round bumps below the flesh. I have had these for many years. I actually can't even remember when they appeared, maybe I've always had them, but now am begining to worry about it. They are painless and have not changed at all for years. Are these things normal? I've asked around and some people feel stuff similar to that in their mouths, some don't, but I feel quite a few of them and can see them too. All thoughts are most welcome. thanks.


-p.s. I had braces as a kid and they cut me in this area constantly, could this be scar tissue? also, no dentist ever said anything before, but I never pointed them out either b/c thought they were normal

Hello Roth2k6

See my reply to AussieBloke who was worried about similar bumps in the lip. Let me know if you still have any concerns.

Best wishes
