Question: Hi I had cut inside upper cheek, I went to dentist and after 2 weeks it is almost 90% healed should I be worried?
Brief Answer:
Healed lesion is not a sign of anything serious..
Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it seems that a cut inside the upper cheek can be XXXXXXX to causes like tearing of mucosa with any hard food or can be due to biting of the mucosa with the teeth if it is in the area of bite plane of teeth..
It can also be an ulcer..
I'm case if it has healed 90% in 2 weeks then you need not to worry as it does not look like anything serious..
It is because if it might be anything serious like malignancy or cancerous lesion it will not heal..
I would also like to know that what mediation were given to you for healing of the cut?
-Is it still painful or burns on eating?
Kindly revert back with answers..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
Thanks for reply. The cut coincides with teeths structure. It doesn't burn on eating. All it is left is little cut with some white lining in border( very little though). I have habbit of grounding my teeth in night.Please let me know your reply on this.
Medication I took - kenacort ointment and neurotrian porte (B complex)

Brief Answer:
Most probably cheek bite.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Welcome back..
As per your response it seems most probably to be cheek bite only leading to formation of an ulcer that you observed to be like a cut..
Nothing to worry about it and the medicine that you have been given is appropriate and you can still continue taking the same until it heals completely..
Any further questions are welcome..
Regards..
