Common Questions and Answers about Swollen gums on roof of mouth

swollen

Avatar n tn Teeth and gums tingle, roof of mouth swollen, kind of like dry mouth (not thirsty though), tongue will not leave the swollen area alone. My dentist suggested trying biotene toothpaste and mouthwash for about two months to see if there is any improvement which I did and no improvement. I am going to call my dentist and tell her it did not work, but I thought I would write to see if you have heard of this and have any suggestions. Could it be allergies? I have not changed my way of eating.
Avatar n tn I'm 16 weeks 2nd baby and my gums and roof of mouth has swollen right up is very painful and gums bleed when I Brush my teeth. Does anyone else suffer from this and what do you do/take for it?
Avatar n tn I often get them on the under side of my tongue. I have a bump very similar to that on the roof of my mouth in the back. I just ate garlic bread, so I'm wondering if these bumps can also occur on the roof of your mouth? I mean I literally just noticed it. It doesn't hurt though it does look a little red around the bump.
Avatar m tn I can feel a swollen line going thru the center of the roof of my mouth and it kills! It hurts so bad i am up 85% if the night. I have been drinking really cold water with ice and holding the ice on it with my toung. I am wondering what could cause this? This is the third day with it and i dont know how i am going to make it thru the night again.... I have been taking about 4 ibuprofen a day but it doesnt seem to do anything....
Avatar n tn Apparently I have a habit of pushing my tongue to the roof of my mouth and feeling around as if there was bits of food stuck on the roof of my mouth. It almost seems like a nervous reaction like popping joints or biting nails. It wouldn't usually bother me, but I've been tasting blood lately, as if I'm actually cutting the roof of my mouth. Does anyone have anything to help me?
Avatar n tn I have been having pain in two of the 'ridges' in the roof of my mouth for quite some time now. One of them is the one is in the center that runs between the front two teeth and the other is next to it. They are slightly swollen and sore (I tend to rub my tongue on them a lot lately). I have also noticted a small pump next to one of the ridges and a small bump in my gums between one of my front teeth and side tooth that is greyish/deep read.
Avatar f tn Diagnosed recently with high blood pressure. New med Hydrochlorothiazide for 2 weeks. Now my upper gum & roof of mouth are red, swollen, and painful. This is not a listed side affect. What's wrong?
Avatar n tn my lingual tonsils and the large taste buds at the back of my mouth seem to be inflamed but the dr said they were normal. I think I see/feel tiny bumps on the roof of my mouth but the dr said he did not see them when he looked with his drs tool. my thrush is still here and I am becoming increasingly more paranoid that maybe this is a sign of a primary herpes outbreak instead of thrush.
Avatar m tn I have a terrible pain on the roof of my mouth on the right side especially when i touch it with the tip of my tongue. I also have an ulcer on the left side and my gums are starting to feel a bit numb. Additionally my jaw hurts sometimes when opening and closing my mouth any advice?
Avatar n tn I have had swelling on the roof of my mouth on and off for as long as I can remember. I have one now on the right side and its not too painful but it is tender to touch and when eating. Its about the size of a dime and longer than it is wider. What it is I have no idea but I am just getting over a cold and Im wondering if the two are connected?

Avatar n tn It may just be a torus which basically means you have some extra bone on the roof of your mouth which creates a bump on the roof of your mouth. The gums (soft tissue) on top of that area is usually a little thinner and a little more susceptible to trauma. But a torus would have been present all your life unless you recently noticed it. If it has been growning or changing in shape, then its definitely important to check the area out as soon as possible.
Avatar f tn Hi there, yesterday i noticed a small patch that was swollen on the roof of my mouth (on the left side). It does not hurt, it`s just annoying. This morning i noticed one white dot on my right gland. It doesn't hurt when i swallow and i`m in no pain, but this is only the second day. I would like to know if anyone shares these symptoms and whether or not you know what this is. Any answers will be appreciated.
Avatar n tn It has been two weeks since the symptoms started and the pain is now gone but the swelling is still going on back there in the left of the roof of my mouth, still a little tender to touch and now my uvula is swollen and it feels like I have something constantly stuck in my throat. I doubt we will work out what it is before it goes away but I just wanted to let you know that if I find out anything I will let you know, as it seems we are both suffering with the same thing.
Avatar f tn i'm 12. i have a tooth on the roof of my mouth is that normal or is it unsual . if i go to the dentist.
Avatar m tn I had unprotected oral and vaginal sex with a sex worker about 2-3 weeks ago. I ended up getting gonorrhea and was treated for that last week. Two days ago I woke up with my lips swollen, there was 3 or 4 red spots on my upper lip. Since then they've turned white, and are very painful. I also have several other spots in my gums, sides of my mouth, etc that are also painful and white. I notice on the roof of my mouth there are red bumps that were not there yesterday.
Avatar n tn Thanks for the reply. You scarred me. But my concern is how often first outbreak would be single sore and also on the tongue. I read on different sites that herpes is very rare inside the mouth even if it did occur most of the times if will be on roof of the mouth or on the gum. It wasn't bump every time I brush or ate something white puss is gone leaving dark red spot. Do I need to get tested?
Avatar f tn As I read your description all I could think of is the pain I get in the roof of my mouth and the brain freeze from eating something very cold. Ouch!!! I hope it has stopped by now or your doctor has some tips for you.
Avatar f tn I had oral about a week ago I didnt think much of it until my tounsils became a bit soar i looked closer and found white spots on them and i found small red bumps on the roof of my mouth. There is a small bump on both cheeks of my mouth. They are regular skin colored and darker in the middle. They look as if i bit my lip. My gums look a little swollen and red. I have the chills and hot flashes. My body is somewhat achey. I have a loss in appetite and i have nausea.
Avatar n tn Teeth are throbbing, but she feels more pressure than pain on the roof of her mouth. Unfortunately the dentist and endontist thought it was abcessed tooth-yesterday she had root canal on TWO GOOD TEETH!! There was nothing wrong with either one of them!!. Tomorrow we go to the oral surgeon. I am sick over this and now wish I had stopped them from doing anything to her. This is going to cost me $1000.00 for nothing but pain to her and still no diagnosis.
Avatar n tn I, too, have had a slight fever, but severe pain from ulcers on my tongue and on the roof of my mouth. The pain is from the tip of my tongue to the root, palate, throat, and even to my right ear. An MD glanced at my mouth and said I have a few ulcers and offered only some numbing mouthwash. I want to know why this is happening, not put a bandaid on it. Have you gotten information on your similar problem?
Avatar f tn I looked into my mouth with a mirror and flashlight andsaw lesions (yellowish) all over the roof of my mouth, the gums around my teeth and even near the back of my throat (almost like strep). I researched online and found pictures that looked like me and called my family doctor to be seen that day. I could barely talk at this point.
Avatar f tn I feel for you! Got a touch of a sore gland this evening so took to the bed with the hot water bottle & after waking up with the biggest blister in the roof of my mouth & all my gums are swollen on the same side of my mouth as the sore gland! I'm here laughing to myself as I've never had a mouth ulcer which I'm assuming this is the start of & my baby is obviously pushing any infection out in any way it can to protect itself! Good little baby!
Avatar m tn My reason for posting, is that roughly a week and a half ago, I noticed a lump forming behind my front two teeth, on the roof of my mouth. It was a bit annoying, and I started to touch and press on it with my tongue. After a few days, the swelling showed up on the front of my gums, on my frenum (I believe that is the vein sort of line that runs between your two front teeth on your gums???). It is very noticeable on my gums now.
Avatar n tn I was already given some AMOXICILLIN 500MG to take and started to take imidatly, however it is now tuesday and my face has been swollen and the gums near the tooth is all puffy and sore like i have thousands of mouth ulsers. i am getting worried as it really hurts. I have stopped taking the IBUPROFEN as i read this could cause face swelling. Please help, is this a rare thing that can happen after root canal?
