Had canker sore under tongue for about 10-11 days. ulcerated center is gone, no pain but the area is still a bit red. it's day 12 now. i know to see my dentist if not fully healed at 2 wks. i'm curious - is this is part of the normal healing process?

Canker sores can be caused by a variety of triggers: minor injury from dental work, vigorous brushing or sharp food, products containing sodium lauryl sulfate, acidic foods, diet lacking in vit B12, zinc, folate or iron, stress, hormone fluctuations. It begins with painful ulcerated round lesions that heal over 2 weeks. If the ulcerated center is gone, that means that the lesion is healing/normal.

Sounds normal. If it continues to heal, keep it under observation. If not, go see your Dentist.
