Understanding the Condition

What Is a Lip or Mouth Bump (Mucocele)?

A mucocele, commonly known as a lip or mouth bump, is a small, fluid-filled swelling that can appear inside the lips, under the tongue, or along the inner cheeks. It often develops when a salivary gland becomes blocked or injured, causing mucus to collect beneath the surface.

While these bumps are usually harmless, they can become bothersome or make it uncomfortable to speak or eat if left untreated. Persistent or recurring mucoceles benefit from professional evaluation and treatment.

How Fotona Laser Helps Remove Mucoceles

At Dentistry on the Path, we use the Fotona laser to gently and precisely remove mucoceles. The laser vaporizes the bump without the need for traditional cutting or stitches, helping to protect surrounding tissue.

This modern approach offers a quicker, more comfortable healing experience with minimal discomfort and downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities the same day.

Professional Evaluation

When to See a Dentist

If you notice a small bump inside your mouth that hasn't gone away after two weeks, it's best to have it checked.

Our dentist can examine and evaluate the area with biopsy and determine if it's a mucocele or another oral lesion that needs treatment. Early evaluation gives you the best treatment options and peace of mind.

Persistent mouth bumps — even painless ones — should be evaluated by a dental professional. Most are harmless, but biopsy confirmation rules out other conditions.
