Hi I just turned 25 yrs. old. Three weeks ago my left cheek started getting raw and eventually ended up with a white patch. When I brushedy teeth and hit it with my bristles it tore it off and it bled. My dentist prescribed me with a chlorhexidine rinse. After two weeks it was gone. Thank god! Now my right cheek is raw and burns when I eat or drink acidic foods. Especially when I brush my teeth with Colgate sensitive toothpaste. What could this be caused from? Thank you for listening to my problems.
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, White patch on the cheek can be due to cheek biting habit, any allergy, alcohol consumption, smoking. I would suggest you to visit to a Dentist and get the checkup done. If there is presence of any sharp cusp get it trimmed. Apply Colonel oral ointment topically over the affected area. Start with multivitamin supplements. Take lukewarm slain and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Avoid eating of hot and spicy food stuffs. Hope this helps out, Regards...
