The skin inside your mouth is called the oral mucosa. It is a moist, protective layer of tissue that lines the inside of the mouth, including the cheeks, lips, and the roof and floor of the mouth. It is composed of epithelial cells and plays a key role in protecting the underlying tissues and providing sensation.
