Pain on hard palate. Had injury in mouth. Is it the effect of the injury?
Patient: My hard palate is very painful to touch on the curve up behind teeth(if that makes any sense). It is very painful to touch. I fell and hit my mouth when I was 12, and was told I wouldn't know of any nerve damage until I was about 15 or 16. I am 15 now. There is no discolouration of the front teeth attached to the once injured gums.. Am I now possibly feeling the affects of the injury? Doctor: Hello, Thanks for writing in. pAIn on hard palate may be due to- Associated decayed/periodontally infected/traumatised tooth. Use of dentures causing allergy also can result in such situations. A thorough clinical and x-ray examination is required to find out the cause of this. Meanwhile,pus if present has to be drained/curetted. Take complete course of antibiotics. Discontinue use of dentures. Hope this helps.
