I have this small patch of bright red skin in the left side of my mouth behind my teeth in the crevice of 2 and it is worrying me its right where the last of your vertical teeth are and the first cube-like tooth is. I just brushed it and it bled.

I brush my teeth everyday 2 times a day.

anyone know what this is?!?

Don't overbrush the area you may damage the gum tissue. Seeing a dentist would be a good idea.

Sounds like gingivitis, though I'm definitely not qualified to diagnose you. ;)

Your dentist will probably tell you to start flossing. If you have any mouthwash, give it a try.

No, I'm a pimply faced 14 year old who lives in Wisconsin.



I just watched the movie "Scanners" a couple of nights ago. Don't ask me why.

Listerine. Use it regularly. If it doesnt go down in 2 days see a dentist. It could be plaque below the gumline.

Its definitely cancer. They're going to have to cut out everything but your ears and the back of your skull. Sorry, man.

On the bright side, you should get great cable reception with a dish-like head. heh

It's probably a canker sore you dope. If it persists longer than two weeks, gets larger, etc. go see your dentist.

A perfect example of why you should never come to ATOT for medical advice :)

You've now been told it's
cancer
canker sore
Michael Ironside is about to explode your noggin
gingivitis
plaque
plague?

...when it reality it's nanomachines contructing a secret alien spy base. Wrap some tinfoil around your head and you'll be fine.
