Suggest Remedy For Bumps Inside Cheeks

Hi,I have some small bumps about 1mm in diameter in the inside of one cheek near my front bottom jawline that have been there for about 6 months. They are whitish/yellowish and hard. One bump is slightly larger but very small and felt like it was just one the soft tissue but has became like the other tiny pimples. Any idea what this might be?Also I have already seen my dentist about this and they didn't seemed concerned about 2 months ago. I'm wondering if I should be as they still have not disappeared yet although they are completely painless and have not got bigger as far as I can tell.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
i have read your query and understand your concern.please mention your age.do you have any bad oral habit.
according to your info i have came up with certain possibilities :

1. Ordinary warts (verrucae vulgaris)
2. Fibroma
3. Irritation from tongue or sharp edge tooth
4. Due to related dental infection (decay)
5. torus

because you said that the bump is since 6 months i think you should visit a dentist for a second opinion.
Don't have to worry so much as most of the oral bumps are non cancerous and it has not shown any change also in your case.

Hope this ans your query. Take care

Regards

Dr. Shesh
