I have a weird feeling inside my cheek. It started about a month and a half ago with a slight soreness in throat. My jaw has had a slight pain from time to time as well. I have dipped smokeless tobacco for about 4 years after quiting for 3 years. I usually dip twice a day. The feeling inside cheek doesnt hurt, just comes and goes and feels different than the other side. Havn t had any different things show up in my mouth except a small white bump 2 weeks ago that went away. I went to doctor about throat, said they thought it was allergies. Should I be concerned or visit my dentist, who I saw about 2 months ago before this started happening?
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. As per the history posted here it appears that there could be a lesion developed in relation to your cheek. This could be leukoplakia. What is the color and extent? Did you notice it carefully? In my view you must get it examined once so that any kind of developing lesion can be detected and controlled. Since there is no pain please do not ignore it.Also, tobacco is not good for health. So please discontinue this habit. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
