Common Symptoms of the Floor of the Mouth

  • Swelling: A soft, bluish swelling may indicate a ranula (a blocked salivary gland). Harder swellings could be related to a salivary stone or a tumor.
  • Ulcers and Sores: This area is susceptible to canker sores. However, due to its high-risk nature, any ulcer that does not heal within two weeks must be checked for oral cancer.
  • Pain: Pain can be caused by an ulcer, a salivary stone, or an infection.
  • Dry Mouth: Issues with the major salivary glands located here can sometimes lead to a sensation of dry mouth.
