I have what i think to be a canker sore, it's very large and the pain has not lessened after gargling. how do i know when to seek medical attention?

Contact DDS: If problematic, perhaps you can contact your dentist and the duration of the pain can be lessened with a laser. If the dentist feels this needs the attention of your MD, you will be referred.
