[|Human|] I have a flap of gum on the lower inside part of my lower gum (where the floor of the mouth meets the gum). If i dig my tongue deeply into the floor, I can lift up the flap just a bit. The flap is painless, but it appeared out of nowhere and must have come to be very quickly. Do you have any idea what this could be? Thank you very much!
[|AI|]  Dear friend, than, for sharing your concern, your history suggest, MANILA in the floor of the mouth, it is caused due to obstruction to the sub lingual salivary gland and adjacent minor salivary gland.  Sometimes, there could be a polyp which has developed there. It could also be the result of chronic cheek biting in that area. Could be gingival over growth or sometimes a gum boil. All these are differential diagnosis, exact evaluation can be made after clinical examination only(palpation, percussion).  An X-ray should also be taken to see underlying pathology then accordingly it can be managed. Hope this helps, thanx
