How Can Soreness Of Lips And Teeth Be Treated?
yesterday i noticed my lips along my upper teeth (so inside of my lips) were sore, i didnt think anything of it until today when it started to be really sore (like i had braces and my lips were cut on them or something) when i looked in the mirror they are all red and look as if they might be bleading. it doesnt look like a sore though

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the soreness could be because of the trauma, or it can be an aphthous ulcer which gets aggravated by stress. consult your oral physician and get it ruled out. if i am your treating doctor i would like to put you on topical anesthetics, analgesics and steroids for a week. i hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. Red and sore lips can be due to several reasons. Tooth cavity, gum disease, herpes infection, allergy, medicine, angioedema, mouth breathing, ulcer, etc.
I suggest you to visit a dentist who can examin you as well as have your proper history. Underlying condition needs to be treated.
In case of ulcer or herpes, it may take 3-4 weeks or more for complete healing. You can take multivitamins and use Lidocaine gel before eating to reduce burning. Maintain oral hygiene.
Hope the answer helps you. Thank you.
