Question 1

hi there. i have been having pain in my inside mouth - the right cheek for 3 days now - i think it's a mouth ulcer as its white. what is the solution?

Accepted Answer

Get it evaluated: You may be right. This could be an ulcer or from trauma. But the best thing is to have a professional look at it (your dentist) so that he/she can see what it looks like and make a record of it.  They may suggest that you watch it for a few days to see if it resolves but at least they looked at it and will have a comparison point when it is re evaluated.

Question 2

a very painful mouth ulcer inside my left cheek has led to swelling and pain in my lower left jaw. it hurts to talk, eat, even sleep. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Worsening ulcer: Greetings. A worsening mouth ulcer possibly extending to the jaw needs to be looked at and biopsies. I'm not sure if you smoke or use alcohol but oral cancers are on the rise. A painful enlarging oral ulcer needs evaluation and SOON.

Question 3

getting a recurring mouth ulcer between gums and cheek near root canaled tooth, gums are tender and sore. dentist says x-ray of root canal looks good?

Accepted Answer

Recurring ulcer: Any sore or lesion in the mouth that does not heal in 10-14 days, or is recurring, needs to be examined and possibly biopsied.
If your dentist is unsure why you are have a lesion, Have the root canal evaluated by an endodontist. If the root canal is sound, and no other teeth are involved, see an oral surgeon or periodontist for an exam.

Question 4

i have  a small mouth ulcer and sore throat. the ulcer is directly below a molar with a severe cavity where the cheek meets the gums. is it connected?

Accepted Answer

Mouth ulcer: That ulcer may be in fact an abscess due to the cavity of your molar. See your dentist ASAP

Question 5

roughness on inner cheeks and im suffering from mouth ulcer also.can any body tell what is it?

Accepted Answer

No diagnosis: Anyone who could tell you what you have without examining it would be both foolish and possibly dangerous.  Even dental experts will  tell you that a visual exam is  sometimes not  enough, but it certainly is the bare minimum.  Find yourself a reputable dentist and have this examined before you participate in the dangerous practice of self-treating - it  is  unwise to count on someone's "guess".

Question 6

i am 9wks pregnant and have a canker sore/mouth ulcer on the inside of my cheeck and it is really sore. what can i do to stop the pain/get it better soon? my jaw is also sore now and the glands below my jaw heavily swollen.

Accepted Answer

Canker Sore: May or may not be a canker sore, especially if it has been there for longer than 2 weeks.  Best to see your General Dentist for examination/evaluation/treatment plan.  Make sure to inform your Dentist that you are pregnant (congratulations).  If necessary your Dentist will confer with your OBGyn.  In the meantime an OTC like Orabase is relatively innocuous.

Question 7

red rash across nose and cheeks, worse after sun, tmj, reynauds, sore elbow joint, chronic dry eyes, non painful mouth ulcer. could this be lupus?

Accepted Answer

Lupus?: Go find out. The Lupus rash has a distinctive butterfly shape. There is a blood test to screen for Lupus. Your medical history will have to be revises, and you will have to be examined, to determine if you have Lupus.  See your General Practitioner or a specialist Endocrinologist for examination, imaging, lab tests, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment plan.

Question 8

pop mouth ulcer or leave alone?

Accepted Answer

Ulcer or blister?: An ulcer would be described as a crater. This is best treated with 50% mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide rinses for 2 minutes 3x per day. A blister is fluid filled.Rinse with 1/2 tsp of salt in 5 oz cup of water for 2 minutes 3 x per day do not pop.

Question 9

is it best to leave mouth ulcer alone?

Accepted Answer

Depends on pain: Oral ulcers happen most frequently from trauma from eating or tooth brushing and usually heal within 5-14 days.  Ulcers lasting longer than should be checked to determine the source of the ulceration.  Cancer must be considered if the lesion persists.

Question 10

mouth ulcer and pain all time last 5day?

Accepted Answer

Aphthous ulcer: It is probably an aphthous ulcer and will take 7-10 days to go away.  Laser treatment by a dentist will eliminate the pain immediately and it will heal quickly as well.
