How long?: Mouth sores can occur for a variety of reasons. You may have a gum infection, tooth infection or you may have simply traumatized the tissue. If the sore has been there longer than 2 weeks and is not healing on its own, you should have it looked at by a dentist. The dentist may order an x-ray to help with the diagnosis. Healthy gums are not swollen and do not cause the surrounding teeth to be numb.

Talk to a dentist: Should get a dental exam done to see if it is tooth related or not. It could also be a symptom of systemic disease showing up in the oral cavity, just like you seems to have a toothache when you get a sinus infection. Please seek a dentist.

Go see your dentist: Sounds like your gums are swollen, but this could be for several reasons: 1. Periodontal disease/gingivitis because of lack of flossing, brushing and rinsing and coming in to see a dentist or hygienist to get your checkup and cleaning for areas that you can get to. 2. Tooth abcess or infection - swollen gums best thing to do is to go see a dentist, especially if its been over a year.

Talk to your Dentist: There are many types of ulcers found in the mouth caused by many things from tooth infections to viruses. Best to have a dentist determine what kind of ulcer or sore it is and weather a biopsy is needed. The nerves in the tissues around a tooth can cause localized toothaches and\or numbness in the entire area even if they are not from an infected tooth.

Dentist: Go and see a dentist. A good dentist can help you with this situation.
