Hi all,

I've had pain on the roof of my mouth for a week or two & managed to get a picture yesterday, anyone any idea what it might be or whether I should see a doctor or dentist about it?

I suppose the obvious questions are - have you eaten/drank anything really hot, sucked on sour sweets or had really spicy food? Those things are usually the culprits when I have annoying sores on the roof of my mouth.

Didn't burn it or anything but I did just come back from a hen weekend & was drinking a lot of sugary drink??

No I don't vape but do smoke 🙈

could be either couldnt it?
sugar or smoke.

I'd say it's probably the fizz from lots of sugary drinks then.

I'd give it another week and if it hasn't started settling then ask the dentist to have a gander

Check your toothpaste!
Also, have you had Covid?

I haven't had Covid recently.. that I know of, I've been using the same oral B pro expert toothpaste for years 🙈
