I've noticed that I have this soft lump inside my cheek, but it doesn't hurt. I'm a bit concerned and wondering if it's something I should be worried about. Could it be serious or just something harmless?

Could be a benign condition such as a mucocele or a fibroma. These are usually harmless but it is recommended to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis. You can use over-the-counter pain relief medications like acetaminophen for any discomfort.

I've been dealing with this ulcer on my tongue and the side of my tongue for a really long time now, and its becoming a constant issue. It's kind of worrying me because it never seems to go away. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different to get rid of it?

You need to get this checked..there might be a tooth with a sharp margin constantly coming on contact with the side of you tongue causing the ulcers..please do meet a dentist and an ENT specialist asap.

I've noticed this raised line that isn't painful, but it's kind of bothering me because it runs from my left wisdom tooth down to my lower lip. It's been there for about four months now. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?

painless raised line from the wisdom teeth to the lower lip can be caused by several factors. Since it's been present for 4 months, it's essential to consult a dentist or an oral surgeon to determine the cause. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Dental abscess_: A bacterial infection in the wisdom tooth or surrounding tissue. 2. _Dental cyst_: A fluid-filled sac that can form around the wisdom tooth. 3. _Mucous cyst_: A benign cyst that can form on the lower lip or in the mouth. 4. _Trauma_: Injury to the lip or mouth can cause a raised line. 5. _Oral cancer_: Although rare, it's essential to rule out oral cancer. _Next Steps_ 1. _Schedule a dental appointment_: Consult a dentist or an oral surgeon to examine the area and determine the cause. 2. _Imaging tests_: The dentist may recommend imaging tests like X-rays or a CT scan to evaluate the underlying tissue. 3. _Biopsy_: If the dentist suspects oral cancer, a biopsy may be necessary.
