Hi Stacey,

There could be any number of reasons why your palate has turned gray. I'll name a few and perhaps something will trigger your memory........

Ingesting lead (even unknowingly in your water supply) or drugs that contain silver (you would be surprised at this one!) or even some digestive meds like pepto bismol can discolor the palate gray.

Do you drink colloidal silver?

Sometimes a discoloration in the mouth indicates another disorder going on in the body. Have you had a recent physical with complete bloodwork?

Smoking cigars, cigarettes, a pipe or chewing tobacco can cause discoloration and more progressive health issues.

It is wise to have this looked at further and a biopsy may be necessary to determine a definitive diagnosis. Usually an oral surgeon would do this type of procedure.

Please try not to worry... be very aware of your daily habits ..... have your water checked by the board of health or a water company .......... and get a thorough physical exam with your physician.

I'm sorry I could not be of more help........:-(
Please let us how you are doing!!

All the best to you!
Bryanna

Does anyone know what this is ? It's the entire roof of my mouth , not the back or my throat and some near the back teeth inside cheek gum area.

She said it doesnt appear to be an infection either.

Thanks for any and all help !
