A white open wounds that do not cause pain (cangker) and arise in the mouth or on lips within 1-13 weeks after patients undergo oral sex (sexual intercourse by mouth), could be the early stages of syphilis.

In the early stages only a few symptoms: patients feel a swelling in the palate or feel that the upper teeth is shaken.
Pain emerging some time later.

At an advanced stage of syphilis, a hole (gumma) may appear in the rainbow palate.


COLOR CHANGES IN MOUTH

If someone is suffering from anemia, the lining of the mouth looks more pale than normal (reddish pink>)
If anemia is resolved, the color will return to normal.

The new color changes in the mouth should be examined by a doctor or dentist, because it could be a sign of adrenal gland disease or cancer (melanoma).
Whitish area can arise anywhere in the mouth and often comes from food scraps that can be removed.
But if the area looks rough and painful, and bleed when touched, may be a fungal infection (thrush).

Whitish area in the mouth may be a thickening of the keratin layer, this region is called leukoplakia <.
Keratin is a protein that is strong, which in normal circumstances to protect the outermost skin layer but also found in small quantities in the lining of the mouth.
Sometimes keratin can form in the mouth, especially in smokers or snuff users.

Overgrowth in red on the palate is most often caused by dentures that do not fit or are too old dentures embedded in her mouth.
Virtually all dental appliances that can be mangled, should be released during sleep, cleaned and soaked in a cup of water.

In people with AIDS, purplish patches caused by Kaposi's sarcoma can arise in the palate.


PROBLEMS IN salivary gland

The largest pair of salivary glands located just behind the corner of the jaw, in front of the ear.
Two pairs of smaller glands located deeper in the floor of the mouth.
Salivary glands are small pieces scattered throughout the mouth.

If drainage is not enough saliva, the mouth will feel dry.
Saliva provides a natural protection against tooth decay, so the lack of saliva can cause the formation of cavities (dental caries).

Dry mouth can be caused by:
- Too little to drink
- Breathing through the mouth
- Taking certain drugs
- A disease of the salivary keenjar (eg Sjögren's syndrome)
- Old age.

A channel that drains the saliva could be blocked by the deposition of calcium (calcium stones).
These blockages cause the saliva can not be streamed and salivary gland swelling.
Swelling of the salivary glands can also become infected with bacteria.

If the swelling gets worse just before the meal arrives, or if patients eat pickles, it is definitely the cause is blockage of the channel.
Sour taste of pickles stimulate saliva drainage, but because the channel is blocked, the saliva can not be streamed, so the swelling worse.

Sometimes a dentist can push the stone by pressing both sides of the channel.
If not successful, a similar tool fine wire can be used to pull the stone out.
Or it could be done surgery to remove the stone.

An injury to the lower lip (such as biting) can injure the small salivary glands and clog the drainage of saliva.
As a result, the gland will swell and form a small bump and the soft bluish (mukokel).

After several weeks, the lump usually disappears by itself, or if you disturb or frequent relapse, can be surgically removed teeth.

Mumps (mumps, bacterial infections) and other diseases can cause swelling of the major salivary glands.
Swelling can also be caused by salivary gland tumors either benign or malignant (usually more dense than the swelling caused by infection).
If the tumor is malignant, the gland will be felt hard as a rock.
