🚨 A SORE ON YOUR LIPS THAT WON’T HEAL? DON’T IGNORE IT.

Cold sores, painful cracks, sudden swelling, and unusual dark patches may look similar at first—but their causes can be very different. Your lips can develop changes from viral infections, irritation, allergies, dryness, or other medical conditions.

🔍 8 Lip Changes You Should Recognize

🔴 Cold Sores: Clusters of painful blisters that may break open and form crusts. These are commonly caused by the herpes simplex virus.

💔 Cracked & Fissured Lips: Deep cracks, peeling, and soreness can occur when the lips become excessively dry or irritated.

⚠️ Angular Cheilitis: Painful splits at the corners of the mouth may be associated with saliva buildup, irritation, or infection.

🎈 Sudden Lip Swelling: Rapid swelling can result from an allergic reaction or angioedema. Swelling of the tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing, is a medical emergency.

🌡️ Allergic Irritation: Redness, itching, burning, and scaling may develop after contact with certain lip products, toothpaste, or other irritants.

🎨 Pigmentation Changes: New or changing dark spots should not automatically be dismissed as harmless, particularly if they continue to change.

🩹 Persistent Sores: A sore that does not heal within two to three weeks, bleeds repeatedly, or keeps returning needs professional evaluation.

❄️ Chronic Dryness: Constant peeling, tightness, and roughness may indicate ongoing irritation or another underlying issue.

Here’s what matters most: Not every lip change is dangerous, but persistent or unexplained changes deserve attention. A visual guide can help you recognize patterns—it cannot confirm a diagnosis.

When a Tooth Just Won’t Come In

An impacted or improperly positioned tooth can sometimes prevent normal eruption. In these situations, your orthodontist may refer you to Pinnacle Oral Surgery for a surgical exposure.

During the procedure, the tooth is carefully uncovered and an orthodontic attachment may be placed. Working together with your orthodontist, we can help guide your natural tooth into its proper position, allowing you to preserve your own tooth whenever possible.

🦷 Surgical exposure + orthodontic treatment = a team approach to restoring your natural smile.

If your child has a tooth that is not erupting normally, talk with your orthodontist about whether a surgical exposure may be appropriate.
