You dont have to worry if you are not practicing any habits like smoking, chewing tobacco etc, this condition is very common and is present in most of the people. But still you can consult an oral pathologist.

Agree with Dr. Jeetendra and Dr. Rakesh. Worry only if you- 1. Chew tobacco or gutkha. 2. Have spicy food. 3. Chew betel nut.

Don't worry it's a normal finding, known as LINEA ALBA BUCCALIS, but if you have some ulcerative lesions in these regions then it's an alarming bell. But one has to correlate it with habits of the patient also, like smoking, gutkha chewing etc also see if this is traumatic cheek bite. You can seek the opinion of an oral medicine, oral pathologist or an oral surgeon guy

Hi.  Your problem may be due to cheeck bite resulting in discolouration of your mucosa.  Get it checked by your dentist if your wisdom teeth are traumatising your mucosa or any sharp teeth.

Hi I'm sure u must have done lot of googling and web search about lesions... when ur dentist says it's not to worry don't worry... Coming to my treatment plan for u.. I would request you to upload the pic of the lesion (as u call ) so that I can say what it can be

This type of discoloration could be the result of number of factors and not necessarily be precancerous condition. There are few signs which you need to observe like has it changed its color or shape in recent days, is it changing the sensation of tissues around,is it on the cheek outside or inside surface or both, does the tooth touches that area while chewing or at rest etc...a thorough clinical examination with history is required. In case you happen to have any tobacco related habits then get a second opinion too and at the earliest. Be safe then sorry.

hello, it is better to see the case clinically for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. visit a dentist and get it checked.

Don't worry .It depends on habits of the patient like smoking, gutkha chewing etc .You can seek the opinion of an oral medicine, oral pathologist or an oral surgeon to identify the root cause if the problem continues.

Hello, you can consult an oral medicine specialist. REgards Dr SUMANMAKAM

Plz don't worry. As per your explanation it feels as if the discoloration you saw was of linea alba. which is a line on cheek. and there also can be discoloration it some history of trauma is there like cheek biting while eating etc. So, just observe the area and if something like difficulty in opening , burning sensation etc. Then get it checked by the dentist ( oral medicine and radiologist) once..

Checks getting pulled in between teeth is common due to negative pressure in the mouth. Forms a fibrous band called linea alba (cheek). Any other than this may need a closer look. Suggest you to meet an "Oral Medicine and Radiologist" or an "ORAL PATHOLOGIST".
