Well, since you asked....
Causes of Pain in Roof of Mouth
Here are some reasons why a person may suffer from pain in roof of mouth. These are not the obvious reasons, but some possible reasons because of which a person may suffer from roof of mouth pain, which is sometimes accompanied with bumps on roof of mouth and sore roof of mouth as well.
Burning Mouth Syndrome
Not a serious problem, burning mouth syndrome may lead to pain in roof of mouth. Exact cause of this syndrome in unknown, but it is said to be a resultant of misinformation spread by the sensory nerves of the oral cavity. It is also said to be caused due to oral yeast infection as well as anemia. If the pain is caused due to yeast infection, then it is better to treat it on time, so that further ailment could be stopped.
Infections
Various infection can be the main reason behind pain in the roof of mouth, which fades away once the infection is treated. These infections are both viral infections as well as bacterial infections. These infections affect on the palate and make it sore. Sinus infections, strep throat, common cold, staph or any such bacterial infections are some of the reasons why a person feels pain in palate region.
Mouth Cancer
This is a bit severe condition that may be the reason behind the pain in roof of mouth. Mouth cancer is of two types; lymphoma (cancer caused inside the mouth cavity) and melanoma (cancer caused outside the mouth cavity). Lymphoma is generally caused at the base of the tongue and around the tonsils region. This may cause roof of mouth pain.
Other Reasons
There are hundreds of other reasons of why a person suffers from pain in roof of mouth. Various kinds of allergies that attack the insides of the mouth, ear infection, tooth abscess, mouth ulcers, diabetes, menopause, perimenopause, poorly fitting dentures, oral thrush, dry mouth, herpes, canker sores, vitamin deficiency, mineral deficiency, eating very spicy food, eating very hot food, chewing tobacco, smoking, etc. are the reasons for roof of mouth pain. Read on sores on roof of mouth as well.
Treatment for Pain in Roof of Mouth
If the causes of roof of mouth pain are situational, then one needn't worry about it, as the pain definitely gets away once the reason is cured. After eating very spicy food, one can eat a spoonful of yogurt. Yogurt is cool in nature and helps in ailing the pain quite remarkably. It is also a better treatment if one is suffering from mouth ulcers or vitamin deficiencies. Try to consume vitamin C and vitamin E in good quantities so as to relive yourself off the pain in roof of mouth. For the time being, avoid all sorts of hot and spicy foods that may cause more pain. Read about mouth sores cure as well.
Pain in roof of mouth caused due to sinus infections and tooth abscess, may fade away as soon as its root cause is treated. One should be concerned about it when the pain doesn't go away in a few days and is repeated over and over again, without any visible cause behind it. In such condition, it is always better to consult a health care provider and get the cause evaluated. I would rather suggest you to go visit the doctor in any case, so that, the pain doesn't get aggravated. A doctor is the best judge, and will lead you towards the best path of treatment.
