I got a mouth guard, and I noticed the inside of my cheeks in my mouth started to pop out into the line between my teeth. I bit them off and now its the same thing but white. I stopped biting it off seeing if it would go away but its all just loose skin like a scab falling off. so I bite it off but it keeps coming back. it doesn't hurt.. Its loose enough to even just scrape off with my nail. Its annoying having in here and I'm really wondering what it is.
thanks for your query, i have gone through your question, the soft tissue what you have noticed at the line of occlusion on your cheek could be secondary to cheek biting resulting in frictional keratosis...nothing to worry about it it will not harm you...if the teeth cusps are sharp you can get it rounded off so that it minimizes trauma....using mouhguard or splint should be carefully advised...otherwise it might result in TMJ disorder..you should be careful in selecting splints or mouth guards....i advise to remove the cause of cheek biting by rounding off the cusps... consult a oral physician for further... i hope my answer will help you...take care...
