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?

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

I'm starting to feel some roughness inside my mouth that I can't see, but I notice it every time my tongue touches the inside of my cheeks or lips. It's making my food taste spicier than it actually is when I'm eating. Also, I am a smoker. Could this be related to smoking, or is there something else I should be worried about?
maintain oral hygiene and consume vitamin b rich foods,you will be fine
