Painless lump inside mouth
I am having this painless lump towards inner side of lower front teeth. Its been more than 15 days it is not seen does mot hurt or irritates me but it I get bothered. I am not a usual smoker but I do drink.
Earlier I had also developed this cut inside ny mouth after drinking. It am assuming it was as I had bitten that area with my teeth while eating but am sure. Pain was there for a few days and my stomache was also constipated but then this recovered after 3-4 days.
Can anyone guide ne about that lump?

Hello ma'am,
There is seems to be no clinical finding wrt the swelling, so radiographic evaluation is better to be done. And the cheek region could be because of sharp cusp that can be corrected by the dentist.
Next Steps
visit your dentist asap

Your cheeks are being bitten due to which you're suffering from traumatic stomatitis. It sounds fancy but is just a simple cheek bite.
As for your lower teeth swelling, I am assuming it is a mandibular torus (bony outgrowth) but an xray is crucial to confirm the diagnosis. Either way, it is nothing to worry about.
Next Steps
Your cheek bite can be treated with a topical ointment which is antibacterial and anaesthetic.
Health Tips
Enameloplasty (grinding of the concerned teeth cusps which are sharp) will help you from not having cheek bites again in the future. Good luck!

Hello
Xray is needed with respect to those teeth. Be conscious of chewing for some days. The habit of biting slowly stops by itself. Check with the dentists for any sharp tooth.
