Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have six small pimple-like projections on my right upper back teeth gum area. I tried to squeeze them and saw white pus coming out of them when squeezed. Last night I also got a sore on my cheek. I do not have pain or any other symptoms. I also wear an Invisalign tray. What could be the reason for this?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It can be due to trauma from the Invisalign appliance that you are using.

1. Can you send a clear photograph of the area to rule out any other possibility?

2. Do you have habits like placing tobacco in your mouth or cheek biting?

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
