Hi, Ive had braces for 2 years and now since my last appointment which was like about a month ago on the inside of my cheek was getting a white spot and was hurting but it wouldnt go away and now a purple vein is revealing on top of the white spot and it kills twice as bad. Its getting worse everyday. What should I do?
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. There can be many reasons for any white spot inside the mouth, white spot can be because of any habit of smoking or consuming area nut, because of stress leading to lichen plans, fungal infection. But in these conditions there will be no pain in that spot. It looks that you must have got some trauma from the wire on the tooth and now blood is clotted in that area. You should use some topical anesthetic gel to get relieved from pain and also the cause of trauma should be removed, for which you have to visit your dentist. Hope it will help you.
