Is it possible to grow hair in your mouth?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hair in the mouth!: Generally due to lack of hair follicles in the epithelial layers of the oral mucosa it is extremely rare that one can find hair grow in the oral cavity.. But... If u have any types of allografts (gum grafts or skin grafts) in the mouth, since these grafts are taken from the skin of human cadavers/ donors , I have seen hairs growing inside these grafted areas. ..... Quite interesting!

No: No, hair only grows out of epidermis that contain hair follicles, they are not present in the mouth.
