Hi, I stopped dipping snuff roughly a month ago, after 9 months of doing so. I now have tightness in the jaws(maybe due to tension, just started working 3rd shift as well) pressure in my face, as well as a burning in my lower lip on the inside on the right side. I do have recessed gums in that area. I have no lesions or spots in the mouth or tongue. Everything looks normal. I went to the dentist 3 weeks ago, who said everything looks ok. Any ideas? One issue? Multiple issues?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, A complete physical evaluation is required to be based upon which treatment will be decided. As it appears to be normal I would suggest you to take-lukewarm saline rinses 3-4 times a day.-take multivitamin supplements.-take antiseptic mouthwash rinses.-quit the habit completely forever. If the symptoms still persists visit to an Oral Surgeon and get the checkup done. Hope you find this as helpful, Regards....
