Left Side Of Cheek Is Leathery. What Is It?
Well I ve been dipping for about two and a half years now and I m just a little paranoid right now. The left side of my cheek is staying leathery which is a first. It worries me and I ve read all the websites about what symptoms to look for, but they are very vague answers and doesn t give a picture of what am example looks like. I m goin to see my dentist but not until Monday and I was a little curious to see what you had to say.

Hello,
Leathery cheeks may be arised due to-
Periodontal infection or decayed tooth associated.
I would advice you to get a thorough clinical evaluation done by a dentist.
Get scaling and restorations done if required.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Routine dental visit to be done in every 6 months.
Hope this helps.
