Ive had this non painful redness on roof of mouth for nearly 3 weeks dentist and docs say it looks like injury. However this is a pic of it in the morning and looks like new skin forms but when i eat and drink it becomes red again and the white bits dissapear. I am really worried and anxious at the moment. Does this look like oral cancer?
Is this healing ?

I am not a dentist and honestly I think it's nothing.. If there is no emergency and you are not in pain then I would ask you to wait for 2-3 weeks and then consult the doctor if the area hasn't healed..
Thank you all for your kind words. But i am trying not check it as much now but its still back of my mind. It is still there. I am a mouth breather and always wake up with dry mouth i dont know if that had something to do with it?
Well it's thought saliva promotes healing but you can't control how you sleep. Of course smoking clogs up your blood stream with poisons your body doesn't need and stops your mouth getting as much oxygen and good things which keep everything in there healthy. It's a bit like sucking on a car exhaust pipe and hoping to feel good.
But it's looking a lot better than a week ago. How does it feel?

It definitely looks much better than when you first posted. It will heal in time but you should stop smoking, not just for the sake of your mouth but your overall health. I used to get mouth ulcers when I smoked, but never since I gave up. It's just bad for everything and especially your wallet.
