Hello Doctor,  Ive been diagnosed with LPR which is acid reflux of the Larynx. Over time LPR can affect your teeths enamel due to high levels of acid. Along with LPR I developed dry mouth and a tongue coating which is normal with LPR. I noticed for a while that my inner cheeks are a little puffy. No pain or anything, it feels as if Im bitting the inside of my cheeks. My teeth are misaligned as well due to two inpacted wisdom teeth that arent removed as of yet. Could the misalignment be causing me to bite differently, which is causing the puffiness? Or is this from the dry mouth/ LPR? Thank you
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Misalignment of teeth can cause the cheek bite. Since you have not mentioned your age, it is not easy to suggests any treatment plan. I would suggest you visit your local dentist to plan a treatment to correct the misalignment of the teeth.Also, for the cheek bite you have a night guard done. Keep your HY Chat Doctor.
