There's this thing in my mouth ( not a cole or canker sore)?


Question:
theres this thing in my mouth where it is like a cole sour only bigger and its where my moler is going to come in but it is like flimze and i can move it a little like somthing planted in my mouth only it moves at the top. and it doesnt hurt but when i tried to cut it it feelz discomforting im worried please help me. :(

Answers:
If this looks like a film, open area or flap of tissue over where the tooth is coming through, it is probably normal. A loose flap of tissue that hangs over a tooth when it is erupting is called an operculum and will usually get worn away as the tooth comes through and the area is chewed on. If you are having puss or the tissue is extremely red, white or blue I would advise having it checked by your dentist. For now, clean the area gently, rinse with salt water as needed and take a pain relieving medication (like Advil or whatever you normally take) to be comfortable.
Hope that helps!

See your dentist as soon as you can! It could be a variety of things, including a cancerous growth.Leave it alone and let a dentist take care of it. Good luck
it sounds like ur a lot worried! well, maybe, u should go to ur doctor or dentist if u haven't already and try to get the thing identified. then, u should try to get ur dentist to give u some numbing jelly or laughing gas while he or she takes it out. then just piut some cotton in ur mouth to absorb the blood [if any] or get some pain pills. just relax though. whatever u do, good luck!
