What Are The Causes & Remedy For White Bumps In The Gums?
My husband has noticed in the last two weeks he has white bumps on his upper gums, they are not raised and are not painful or itchy and they are not raised. He has quite chewing tobacco for 6 months now after 8 years and is also on ramipril for high blood pressure. I asked him about his toothpaste and it is crest health pro. Please help me with what this may be as he is having anxiety over them.
thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the white bumps could be because of the tobacco. tobacco chewing causes white patches on the mucosa called leukoplakia or it can be lichenoid reaction secondary to antihypertensive drugs.also. consult a oral physician get your self examined to rule out these lesions. discontinue the habit of chewing tobacco. you have to take anti oxidants like capsule lycopene once daily for one month. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
