worried spot in mouth ...

[mumof2000]

anyone els had this ? im missing 2 lower left teeth and am often biting my cheek ..looked in mouth last mon to find area where i bit , just next to it same area little white spot/ patch ,when i close mouth looks in line with bite , cold this be scar tissue ?

worried may be MC ... i went to dentist who is very good said 99.9 o/o sure its where iv been biting and will see me in 2 weeks as it should go ...he also said its not presenting to him with MC carictoristics , lump , swelling at jaw , and doesnt think i should worry ...i suffer with health anxiety so this i find very hard ...

just wondered if any one els had similar thing happen , im not sleeping much and fel a wreck ...

Yup, ive been where you are now, and is till have it, i think it is deffo scar tissue, try not to worry

I am a dentist.
extrremely common and nothing to worry about.

Anything sinister as you have described is very very rare

Dont u just love these kind professionals

Jasper, you've no idea how a few words can help ease a persons mind

Aw thanks. You see it is the only thing I know anything about

Really .....? im sooo worried ..cant seem to shift this cloud apon my head full of worry ....

its like a ulcer/spot, but its not ..if you know what i mean ... did the sin and googled and convinced MC can only be the poss thing ...

like i said my dentist is sure its nothing other than trauma from biting of which i may do in sleep to and he said not presenting like it ...but as its not going im panicking ....

so jasper you to have sen this sort of thing ?

thanks for replying , just so worried ....and cant stop checking mouth ...

mum I promise you I see this every day of the week x

thank you jasper will try sleep well tonight xx

seriously, the chances of this being MC are extremely slim!

Ps do you smoke or chew tobacco?

No im a 37 y old non smoker or heavy drinker , my dentist said if he was concerned he would refer me ASAP but said hes 99.9 o/o happy its trauma from me biting plus said not presenting lump, swelling any thing of MC , wants to see me in 2 weeks to see if any change but said only to put my mind at rest and if i was still worried would refer if i really wanted . sounds like he doing the best i think ?

he knows i suffer anx and is very understanding .

thanks for listening xx

I would do exactly as your own dentist.

If you drank a bottle of spirits and smoked 50 a day I would be mildly worried. But only mildly!

i think he is being very good to just me and my anxiety working overtime and shouldnt have googled ....

so based on what i have said you dont think i should worry ?
thanks for listening and advice x

I absolutely think you should NOT worry.

Seriously, I see what you describe every day of the week.!

Thank you jasper , will try relax a little , its with me morning , non and night ...the worry i mean ..

just ant it to GO ....

thank you for advice and listening xx
