A member asked:

I have a pain in my frenulum, it is white. it hurts when i lift my tongue up, should i be worried? it feels like it's pulling on my mouth.

Don't fret...: If it still bothers you after about a week have it looked at. Canker sores happen frequently there and go away in about 5-7 days
