What Does A White Line Inside The Mouth On Both The Sides Of The Cheek Indicate With No Noticeable Pain?

Posted on Mon, 31 Dec 2018

Question: Hi Doctor,

I see a white line inside my mouth and there is no pain or anything. I noticed it yesterday and I had a dentists visit last week. Its on both side of my cheeks where the teeth meet.

Would you please take a look at it ? I am attaching two pictures of my moth.

Brief Answer:
Mucositis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have seen the attached picture. You are having mucositis. Apply clotrimazole mouth paint 4 to 5 times a day for a week. Take tablet vitamin c once daily and use hexidine gargles.
Get blood sugar levels checked.
Drink plenty of water.
Avoid any spicy food and aerated drinks.
Any further questions are always welcome.
Take care
Thanks and regards

I am taking Vitamin C regularly.
Is it something worrisome - Mucositis?
My blood sugar when I checked last year was below 80 empty stomach.
is it anything bad?
when i search for it it is part or side effect of Chemo therapy on cancer patients. Is it something to worry ? I am not gone through any of that god forbid.

Brief Answer:
Can be injury due to rough teeth.

Hi,
The ulcer like lesion looks like repeated friction by the teeth. Maybe seeing a dentist will help.

I had an appointment with the Dentist. And you are 100% right, as per dentist there is no issues and the white line on the cheeks are cheek bites and also the tongue could be a bite and she took pictures and validated. No medicine or treatments needed.
