There is a strange slightly-raised horizontal line inside the cheeks of my mouth. I think it might be whitish but its hard to tell as its difficult to look at in the mirror. They arent sore so they dont hurt me at all, but if I lick along the inner sides of my mouth I can feel them there - they feel kind of like scars but thats not what I think they are. If I stick my finger in and scratch/rub at them a little to see if they can come off a bit of white stuff comes off with them? Theyve been there for about a week now or at least thats as long as since Ive noticed..Do you know what they are?
Hello, The problem you are having is due to chronic irritation of the cheeks by the occlusion of your teeth. The white line on your cheeks is a normal feature seen in many individuals at the level of occlusion of teeth, and it is known as line Alba buccal. Pl do not do anything over it. Regards
