Question 1

25 male with soft lump on the roof of mouth- diameter 4mm, has dark spot on it(like blood clot). earlier had repeated salivary cysts on same place.

Accepted Answer

Soft lump: Evaluation and treatment by an ENT has been suggested.  Good choice.  I think a better choice, however would be an oral cavity pathology specialist, an Oral Surgeon.  Whatever path you choose, important to be seen now...don't put it off.

Question 3

what type of doctor should i see for evaluation of a sensitive cyst/lesion in mouth under tongue? red/clear with a little white inside. & how urgent?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist.: The dentist is the appropriate doctor to evaluate oral lesions. If it is something new, then I would have it evaluated promptly. Good luck.

Question 4

dentist says i have a mucus cyst on roof of mouth. i find myself constantly pushing on it with my tongue. will cause ear and jaw pain?

Mucus cyst: The para-functional movement of your tongue and jaw may be causing a muscle pain that can cause this type of pain.  Resist the temptation to play with the cyst and the symptoms may go away.

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: Strongly suggest a dental visit to diagnose the lesion and schedule treatment.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: Once a mucocele is treated it is considered healed. If the area is traumatized again, a new mucocele can form.

Question 7

what should i do about these embarrassing cysts on my mouth?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: These lesions need to be evaluated. They are obviously bringing you stress and embarrassment, so have a local oral surgeon take a look at them.

All the best...

Question 8

is mucocele in the mouth is a harmful condition? i'm worried?

Accepted Answer

: Mucoceles are what happens when the outlet "pipes" of mucus producing glands break/scar and a bleb of mucous backs up causing it to develop. It is an inconvenience/irritant more than anything. Oral surgeons and some dentists might remove them. On a scale of 1-10 for problems I consider this one  a 1/2.

Question 9

my mucous cyst popped in my mouth is this fatal at all?

Accepted Answer

Mucous cyst: Neither fatal or of much concern generally. If it returns, see an Oral Surgeon to properly diagnose and treat.

Question 10

two cysts the size of a ping pong ball on the roof of the mouth?

Accepted Answer

Mouth cysts: if they are hard and immovable on the midline then they are probably TORI.  This is benign overgrowth of bone.  Only need to be removed if they imping on eating or talking
