I've noticed this red spot inside my cheek that just appeared today, and I'm a bit concerned about it. I go for regular oral check-ups and even take antioxidants to keep things in check. I do chew tobacco sometimes, though. I haven't had any issues with eating or opening my mouth, but the red spot is making me anxious. Could you shed some light on what this might be?

I'm dealing with a mouth ulcer and picked up Dologel CT ointment from the chemist to use on it. I'm a bit worried though, since it's meant for oral use, and I'm wondering if swallowing a bit by accident could be harmful. Can you help clear this up for me?

Hey, so I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable pain on the left side of my forehead and my upper left gumsteeth. It became worse overnight, and now the whole left side of my upper face is aching like crazy. I even feel a bit feverish. I tried taking some crocin pain relief this morning because it was just too much to handle, but I'm still struggling to eat on my left side without pain. Chewing is especially tough. The gumspain hasn't gone awayany idea what might be happening or what I can do?

Your symptoms, including sudden severe pain on the left side of your forehead, upper gums, and teeth, accompanied by feverishness, suggest a possible dental issue, such as an abscessed tooth or infected gums, or potentially a trigeminal neuralgia or sinusitis; schedule an urgent appointment with your dentist
