					| Thank you for your inquiry, There can be numerous causes for the findings you have in your mouth and the associated joint and muscle pains. Some of them can be " serious". I would suggest that you consult a doctor to confirm a diagnosis that explains your findings. Hope this helps, Regards, Dr. Daniel Poitras International SOS Moscow
