Hello doctor i have had sores on the sides of my cheek  by the sublingual glands for about a year . They first came when my wisdom teeth were rubbing in that spot  and made a callus type bump.  i am in pain almost every day and have taken enough of the pain. it now feels like my neck glands hurt as well.  would you suggest i go into the doctors immediately if not could you give me a little info on what this could be my dentist quickly looked at it and just said \"maybe you are grinding your teeth \" and that was all they did for me . Please help.
Hi. Thanks for the query. It looks like you have traumatic ulcers due to rubbing of the wisdom teeth. Many a time the wisdom teeth are buccal erupted that is towards the cheek, and it causes biting of the cheek unintentionally causing painful ulcers. So my suggestion is to consult a Dentist and get evaluated and if the wisdom teeth are causing ulcers then he can smoothen the cusps of the wisdom teeth and if they still cause cheek bite then extraction of the wisdom teeth can help in permanent resolution. If the problem is due to grinding of teeth then wearing mouth guards can help. Hope this helps. Regards.
