roff of mouth

[bxrkill]

i have ben dipping for about 3 years and i only dip about a can a week but for the past few weeks when i brush the roof of my mouth near the back with a tooth brush there is a slightly sore spot and it bleeds a little for about a minut and then its fine and it does not bother me at all.would it be from the dip?

what all does dip do to you?  Like what all does it cause??

Cold stimulus may result in narrowing of bronchus and compromise air flow.

do you think sleeping with a blanket over my head may help i noticed this problem didt start till it got cold out side.

Conventional tooth brushing generally will not cause palatal injuries.It appears that you are mouth breather. Seeing an ENT to find out if there is air way obstruction is advised. If the air way is patent,you may need to see a tmj specialist . Temporomandibular disorder may contribute to mouth breathing.

well the reason i bring this up is i also have a problem with sleaping with my mouth open and it dries out my throat.when i wake up it it agervated and sore after a few hours it feels better do you think the constant agervation could be causing this or helping it to not heal all the way or it could be scrubing it every night and morning maybe i shoud not brush the roof of my mouth for a few days and see if that helps.and i do plan to see a doctor for a check up seems how im in the proses of quiting i bought a can of mint snuff and its helping.....mint snuff-(fake dip)

Chewing smokeless tobaco is documented to be associated with oral cancer. Cessation of smokeless tobacco is advised.

dip is smokeless tobacco that you put in your lip and hold it there.other names are chew/snuff/pinch.those are nicknames.

I do'nt know what dip is.If the lesion persists more than 2 weeks after quitting consumption of dip, seeing an oral pathologist is advised.
