hello,thanks for consulting at hcm..buccal mucosa is the commonest site affected, followed by gingiva, lips, tongue and palate. Buccal involvement appears as a non-tender well-circumscribed brownish red or purplish swelling, as papules, or as submucosal nodules that can occasionally either show superficial ulceration or may be symptomatic. Gingival involvement leads to varied clinical presentations including gingival hypertrophy, gingivitis with or without gingival recession and gingivorragia, periodontitis and loosening of teeth.If u have r suffering frm above problms plz consult a oral medicine ad periodontitis for a check up and treatment..hp it helps,,tc
