Only just found a lump in the roof of my mouth, now, in fact. Not long seen my GP about a dark blemish on the inside of my upper lip, as well. My GP said it was a sore where I'd been biting my lip, thankfully. I've had a lump around that region before & it eventually went down. But I'm not taking any chances, if it's still there tomorrow. I'll either see my GP or Dentist about it.

what does it mean to have a small red patch and some red dots on your upper + lower lips? They weren't there yesterday but I have them right now. I thought it was because my lips were dry so I used petroleum jelly on them but it didn't work. Then I thought I was dehydrated so I drank enough water but they're still there. They are more towards the inside of the lip. its not an abnormal bump and I'm able to eat and talk well but it feels weird and is tingly.

I have bitemarks near my wisdom teeth areas, but the bite mark near my right wisdom tooth has a white and red dot on it, my dentist said it's only bitemarks and I should just remove my wisdom teeth. The thing is the bite marks on the right look like bumps and have a white/red dot on them. It also hurts when I bite on my right side. Should I be concerned? These bite marks have been here for a month and a half and I've been to the dentist twice and have gotten the same answer.

[@cernobilskizmaj7004]

No they didn't but my dentist says that those are just bitemarks created by me biting my mouth with my wisdom teeth. They will get resolved once i remove my widom teeth. They don't hurt anymore. You got nothing to worry about. Also they don't look like bumps anymore but just bitemarks.
