I need some advice.?!
Question: I need some advice...?
I've asked this question many times, but I'm still looking for a good answer..
I have tissue changes in my mouth caused by smoking and chewing my cheeks (according to my oral surgeon, dentist and doctor)
I have white lines from where I chew my cheeks, but I also have a bump underneath the skin on my left cheek that's been there for quite some time, it's not painful nore does it cause me any problems.. Could cheekbiting or smoking cause painless bumps under the skin inside your mouth.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
well,the white line is called as linea alba..it is the adaptation of u'r mucous membrane of u'r cheek to excessive biting..in medical terms it is due to excessive kertinization of mucous membrane..the bump must also b due to the same reason..any changes in mouth due to smoking will usually b confined to palate..it is the smokeless tobacco which leds to changes at the site as u mentioned..bt u dont give any history of consumption of smokeless tobacco..do refer ur dentist for confirmation..Health Question & Answer
I would have the doctor check it out because it might be mouth cancer from smoking....
