What is the cause and treatment for the lump inside my mouth?
Patient: Hi. I woke one day and it seems like there's a lump inside of my left cheek and it feels like everytime I try to close my mouth, my teeth seems to almost bite it. It also has some kind of a white vein in it. It kind of hurts but not so much. The vein might just be the effect of constantly being bitten by my teeth everything I try to close my mouth. I don't know. This is scaring me real bad. Doctor: Hello and welcome.Thanks for sharing your concern.Please do not get worried,it appears that you have got infected teeth in your mouth.This has resulted in periapical infection.Therefore please see your dentist and get the clinical examination done.A small x ray is required to see the underlying pathology.Hope it helps.Thanks.Take care.
