Mouth problems, please help?!
Question: Mouth problems, please help!?
I've seen GP's, I've seen Doctors and I've seen Oral surgeons!.!. I've been told I chew my cheeks at night when I sleep!.!. When I run my tongue along my cheeks I can feel rough whitish lines and for about 2-3 months ago I felt a sort of raised bump near the top of my left cheek!.!. it's not a salivary gland but it's just where the flesh is!.!. can anyone tell me what's going on and is bumps/lines common in people that chew their cheeks + smoke!?
any feedback would be appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I chew my cheeks and I have that whitish area as well!. It's a form of OCD, more of a boredom or nervous habit!. I try hard not to do it!. I notice I do it most while watching TV or driving!. Weird, I know!. I don't smoke!. All I can say is doctors won't help!. You just have to be aware of it and try to break that habit!. You will notice if you do it for a longtime wrinkles will develop!. I'm 37 and I can see a faint wrinkle beneath my nose where I contort my face to chew!. Also, smoking will give you ugly pucker wrinkles!. My boss has the worst pucker wrinkles from smoking!. Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
