Dipping? Irritation to lower gum?!


Question: Dipping? Irritation to lower gum?
I did chewing tabacco about 5 to 6 times and when I found out what it does to you I stopped. But since 2 days ago ( wen i stopped) my lower lip has been sore. And this morning i found a white like slalivia patch around my lower gum. Could this be a sore due to the irritation or what? I rised my mouth with salt water last night before I went to bed if that helps. Thanks!

Answers:

This sore is cause by the dip, if you stop and continue to not use it it should go away on it own but if it doesn't then go visit you dentist. It sounds like you have Snuff Dipper’s Keratosis which is common for people who dip.

Keep rinsing your mouth to keep the bacteria levels down.

I'm a dental hygienist.



probably jst some bacteria. keep it clean.
