Roof of the mouth pain?


I've been having a pain in the roof of my mouth lately. Just went to the dentist to get routine check up and cleaning, everything was ok. It does not really burn, but hurts, more when I eat than anything. Pain goes away at times, mostly at night. Don't really feel this discomfort until I wake up and start my day. Any ideas. I do have a small case of reflux, but no acid taste, since I've been on nexium.

Hi! I have been in dentistry for over 25 years. Believe it or not this is a common problem. It is a palate irritation due to excessive dry mouth/acid irratation while you sleep. If you are a mouth breaher this is common. And if the room is very dry and warm, that makes it worse. What helps is to keep a bottle of water near your bed at night. Drink right before and hold in your mouth. If you wake during the night, drink again. First thing when you wake up. During the day keep a bottle of H20 with you at all times and sip it often. Try this for 2-3 days and see if you notice a change. If you have any other questions, please ask. Most people with acid reflux have this because they breath through the mouth at night and the acid does creep up the throat, even if it only the vapors. You can also try sleeping with 1-2 extra pillows to see if this helps as well. Good luck. Marie

ahh i hate that wen u have the little boil ryt

maybe you cringe your teeth at night leading to impacted molars

or it could be an innfection

Ask your dentist

you might have a small cut. i cut my roof eating cheerios cereal once! it was painful - but there is oral OTC meds.
good luck!

That pain is usually due to inflammation of your sinuses.
Consult your ENT specialist.
