My dentist used a new ultraviolet light wand to look at my mouth today to check for early signs of cancer. He found what he called trauma or dark patch on the upper palate. It looks normal when viewed without the ultraviolet although it appears to be a red patch to me when I look at it tonight. Of course, the red could be the result of my dentist cleaning my teeth and gums today.
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query, as you have red patch on soft palate and check this can be due to inflammation of oral mucosa due to trauma, allergy, bacterial infection .or thermal burn. Don't worry I will suggest you to consult your dentist if you have symptoms of pain, or discomfort. Inmeantime I will suggest you to go warm saline rinses, and you can apply Denote or Mugel on red patches. Hope this will help you.
