Canker and White: Canker sores are very common without any proven reason why they occur, BUT they are thought to be directly related to stress. The white lines on the side of your cheek are extremely common from chronic biting of your cheek which is similar to calluses. No reason to have concern. The canker sore will run its course and go away.

Dry Mouth: These are not signs of cancer, but diagnosis cannot be confirmed without an exam. Dry mouth is simply a reduction of saliva production and flow. This could be from many different issues ranging from side effects from medications to blockage in saliva ducts. This can be a major concern if this leads to poor oral hygiene, decay and burning mouth syndrome. Have your dentist check this out.

Blood Clotting: I am assuming that the bleeding is most likely stopped by now, but prolonged bleeding following an extraction can occur due to many things: 1) daily Aspirin takers which increases a patients clotting time, 2) increased infection in the area which increases bleeding upon extraction and 3) decreased clotting time due to medications or unknown medical issues (which will need blood tests to determine)
