How serious is a hole in the roof of your mouth?!


Question: How serious is a hole in the roof of your mouth?
I have a small hole in the roof of my mouth that has been there for at least a year or so. It doesn't hurt but when I suck on it air comes through it and sometimes it squeaks LOUDLY. I hate the fact that it randomly squeaks all the time, it's embarrassing. I want to go get it checked out but when I asked my mom if I could go to the doctor for it she just said "you have a HOLE in the roof of your mouth?? omg...." and that was it....how can I get her to make me a doctors appointment for this. And is it a really serious thing, could it cause other problems?

This could be a sinus issue, there could be a connection issue between the sinus wall. When this happens, air travels down and water comes through your nose as such, kind of opposite of what it should. This is easily closed over by an Oral Surgeon and takes numbing up and a few stitches. Go and see your dentist

first im not a doctor

its not good to have strange holes in your head it probably wistles becouse it is connected to your nasal pasages it would proabably be good to see a dentist and in the meantime don't be sticking stuff in it. i don't know what a doctor would do unless you went to see a plastic surgion to patch it up. but if its been like that for a year and their is no blood or puss or swelling then it probably isn't life threatining. also try to keep it clean.



This isn't normal, especially if you weren't born with this problem. You need to see a doctor a dentist pretty sharp-ish I would say.
