Oral Lesion: Since it appears to be resolving on its own, you should be fine moving forward.

Probably not: As you are improving, you should be OK in the near future. The rule of thumb is, however, that any and all lesions, color changes, bleeding, swelling, that do not FULLY resolve in 14 days from onset should be evaluated by your Dentist. So check your calendar.

Dentists, is natural toothpaste an effective alternative to fluoride based toothpastes? Or will natural toothpastes like "Jason" be ineffective at fighting off cavities? I use natural because of a canker sore sensitivity to the SLS in normal pastes.
