See your dentist: Dentists specialize in determining oral conditions. A quick visit to a dentist will give you peace of mind. It could be your parotid glands. Ask your dentist to look into it for you at your next check up! Best of luck!

Cheek ridging: It is common for people to have a line of white along the inside of their cheeks due to clenching, tapping, or grinding of teeth. See your dentist for occlusal splint fabrication. Good luck.

Abnormal: Hard to say without exam. Since these flaps cause not pain and are getting smaller, no treatment indicated. If persist, become painful or enlarge, see your dentist.
