Need info and direction on what to do with sores in mouth. i have two sores on my upper gum that looks like pimples but will not go away. they have been there for around three years. i am nervous, i have not seen a doctor or dentist in years.

Difficult : Difficult to determine the exact nature of the problem since it has been present for so long. Without a clinical exam and possibility x-rays your description is inadequate for even a guess. Recommend that, despite your embarrassment, that you see a dentist as soon as possible for an evaluation.

Three : Three years with two sore spots.........! as previously answered by dr.Funari it will be difficult to diagnose without an exam and x-rays . You should be concerned, not nervious about it. Look into your local pages or simplly google for a maxilofacial surgeon in your area, make an appointment and allow him to diagnose and if necessesary a biopsy will be taken. Good luck!

The : The first step is to see a dentist. Bumps that resemble pimples are usually associated with dead teeth needing extractions or root canal therapy, but the duration of the lesion is odd.
