The Roof Of My Mouth Is Very Sore
The roof of my mouth is very sore with what looks like red veins like they are irritated. They are also along the inside gumline and outside gumline of my furthest back tooth. It's starting to be irritating because it's been about a week. I brush and see a dentist every six months for cleanings.

thanks for your query, the soreness in the floor of the mouth could be because of an ulcer secondary to trauma, the bluish or vein like structure could be because of the dilated veins(varicosities), or a ranula(cystic lesion of the salivary gland)...so please consult a oral physician for complete introral examination and proper diagnosis..take care..
