Blood blisters

Has anyone else had painless blood blisters on the roof of their mouth. This is my third one in a couple of months. I’ve been aware of it so I’ve been very careful what I eat and I don’t think it’s damage from food. 

The latest one just felt like a tiny lump on the roof of my mouth but it burst when I pressed it with my tongue and now there’s an enlongated blood blister nearly an inch long. 

Dentist or Doctor?

    Phone your dentist , try to get someone to take a photo of the blood blisters , as the dentist will want to see them and ask your dentists advice. 
  • The only time I got blood blisters in the mouth is if I ate something very hot but they only appeared on my cheek.  I agree with the previous poster, do get it checked out just for reassurance.

    Are you on an inhaler for asthma?  The steroids in some of them can cause blood blisters after the gentlest irritation with a piece of food.  If you are, then it's doctor to review prescription.
