Suggest remedy for dental health problem
Patient: Hi my name is Simone and  about a month ago the inside of my bottom lip started to get raw. There are small bumps that I can't see but I can feel them in my mouth. Everytime I brush my teeth, the flouride burns my mouth a lot. I am only 15 and I'm really scared to know what is causing it. On my top lip on the inside is really sore, but I don't know why. The burning gets worse everyday. There are also cracks on the inside of my mouth and blood comes out of them. If I could have some help, that would be great. Thank you. Doctor: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The possible causes for the burning sensation in the mouth could be  because of lichenoiid reaction that is allergic reaction to the tooth paste or it can be because of angular chelitis secondary to anemia or it can be a aphthous ulcer. Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these things.If it is a lichenoid reaction then you can change the tooth paste and use topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.If it is because of angular chelitis improve your nutritional status, consume lot of leafy vegetables.If it is aphtous ulcers then, you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.I hope my answer will help you, take care.
