Gums Sore Due To Double Root Canal Treatment. Have White Veiny Pallet And Uvula. Are They Due To Infection?
I have white veiny pallet and uvula, I have had a double root canal, treatment is ongoing for two months and the soreness has comeback in the area. I do have a script for antibiotics was instructed not to take them unless I phone the endodontist. Is the white and veiny uvula and pallet related to the infection?

Hello,
No root canal treatment does not initiate these kind of white area on the palate.
Actually the anterior or front part of palate is veiny itself and it is also slightly pale from the rest of the oral cavity, if the area is not painful it can be a normal appearance only.
Or there can be another condition like if you have a habit of smoking then it will cause this kind of white lesion on palate, in this case you have to skip smoking.
Thank you
Regards
