Is It To Be Concerned If The Bottom Of The Lip Has Become Stretched And Thin With Patches Due To Tobacco Chewing?
I have chewed tobacco off and on for 5 years. Over the past month I noticed that it looked like the corner or my bottom lip has stretched and became thin. Now under the thin part on my lip there is an indentation. On one side of the indented patch there is a slightly raised vertical line. I goto my dentist in 2 months, do I need to go in sooner ?

yes!
please go as soon as you can, although it may not be serious , but since you have been chewing tobacco for 5y years, it is better you get it examined soon. and please stop chewing tobacco, it is very harmful. thanks
