What Is A White Film On The Inside Of My Cheeks?
Hello, the inside of my cheeks has a white film especially on my left side and it seems like it s swelling up by my last molar tooth. It doesn t hurt and I still can open and close my mouth but when I eat it seems that I m starting to chew on that swollen part.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having sub mucous fibrosis causing this problem.
This might be due to constant having minor injury causing due to molar bite in buccal mucosa.
If you are taking tobacco or smoking habit this type of problem is there.
Consult dentist and get your molar tooth get examined.
Do Listerine or Feel fresh gargles.
Ok and take care.
