What would cause a lump on the right side of my soft palette? i wear dentures and have for ten years. it is very very painful.

Vague: Could be a denture sore that has been rubbed and altered the tissue over the years. Ill-fitting dentures could be the cause, but i would see a dentist asap. The lump could be a concern and should be evaluated. Any long term sore or lump needs attention!

See your dentist: If an you have a swelling in the roof of your mouths, there are potentially several reasons that this is occurring. It could be a simple gum infection, denture's sore spot, adenoid cystic carcinoma, just to name a few reasons. See your dentist for evaluation, diagnosis x-rays and treatment. Do not delay, call your dentist today. Good luck,
