Is it painful?: How long have you had it? I recommend l-lysine (see image) ointment and to stay away from anything acidic (tomato sauce, citrus, etc) which can make the pain worse. Also, to prevent from biting it in your sleep, ointment + gauze and cover it at night. If it is not gone within a week please see a dentist to make sure this is what it is!

Tincture of Time: If it is a canker sore it will be gone in 10days-2weeks. If it last longer than 2 weeks it MUST be examined by your Dentist. In the meantime eat a bland diet, dab on Orabase, Orajel, or Orabase-B with a Q-tip. Take OTC analgesic.
