Painful red white open sores inside the mouth.

Although I don't necessarily know the cause of the canker sores, I get them all the time and have found the following things to help keep them away:\n1. It seems that when I use a conventional brand of toothpaste, like crest or colgate, I get them more often.  I have read that sodium lauryl sulfate is common in toothpaste and can lead to more canker sores.  I use Jason brand toothpastes, which helps a lot.\n2. I've also read that yogurt contains healthy bacteria which can fight off whatever causes canker sores.  When I eat yogurt daily, I tend to get fewer canker sores.  \n3. Stress seems to be linked to canker sores for me.  When I am stressed I am more likely to get them.  \nFrom using the different toothpaste and eating yogurt on a regular basis as well as reducing my stress in life, I have very few canker sores and most that I do get know start when I bite the inside of my mouth or lip.\n\nHope this helps

Could be thrush (yeast) or could be that you are fondling your new braces with your tounge too much as we have tendency to touch excessively any new anomily, ache or sore tooth etc without being able to stop, lol. That would be my first guess. You are just irritating it by getting used to the braces. And the white spots would be inflamed tastebuds.\n\nAlso eating a lot of sour or acidic foods or candy can irritate the tounge to the point of getting sores and being raw and inflamed.\n\nIf its not better in 2 days I wold see the dr or do some research on yeast. Which could also caused by too much sugar.\n\nRinse your mouth with salt water. Take some extra vitamin c as soft tissue repair needs lots of C. Along with your regular multivitamin.

seems like you have got infection in the periapical area of the tooth(i.e the area which surrounds the end of the root) which has spread to the bone and has resulted in bone loss which may be replaced by the granulomatous tissue (the infected tissue). this often results in the change in perception of the tissue and inflammation of the soft tissues of the oral cavity, thus leading to odd sensation. furthermore, the area you are describing i.e the palatal area doesn't contain much of muscle as the skin is attached directly to the periosteum (outer covering of the bone). thus any pus or oedema in that area is quite painful. the best treatment or it is drainage of pus. it can be done either way i.e either from making the hole in the tooth or else surgically. the root canal therapy will just make a passage for the drainage of the pus from the tooth so that all the infected pus and other tissues is removed later it can be filled so that any further infection isn't caused. but sometimes the amount of pus or the lesion is so big that it can't be removed by RCT. then we need to open up that area and treat it surgically. the exact treatment plan can be chalked out only after examination. so i advise you to consult a gud endodontologist who will be able to relieve ur pain and return the tooth to it's functional state.

It could be an ulcerated sore (maybe a chip or bone accidently cut the gum), or it could be an abcess.  It may also be a form of herpes.  All can be treated easily.  Get some oral gel for now (they make it for big people) to get you through the pain.  Your mouth usually heals fast, but if its still there next week, call a dentist...or your doctor if you cannot get in to see the dentist.  If its become infected, you may need an antibiodic.

It is a type of virus ... NO NOT HERPES (that is ridiculous).  It is something in your blood partner.  You can't get rid of them ... there is no "CURE" for them ... you just have to let them run their course, but there are things that will make them run their course a little faster ... \n\n1.  Don't eat real spicy foods.\n2.  Don't eat highly acidic fruits, or vegetables.\n3.  Use "Listerine" 3 times a day and before you go to bed, gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide.\n4.  Use Cepacol or some other type of "numbing" lozenge to help with the pain.\n5.  If  you smoke, that's good ... that helps dull the pain as well.  (why  you ask ... I don't know).\n\nGood luck!

You are giving symptoms similar to necrotizing gingivitis/periodontitis.  It is bacterial.  It starts when the immune system is down. It may even be induced by stress. We generally see it in younger patients (up to 40 years of age). You are probably describing necrotizing gingiva with white color. It causes severe pain and tingling.  You should see a periodontist as soon as possible. If my diagnosis is right, they will give a cleaning first, and it will be superficial. They will prescribe an antibiotic if they think that the infection is affecting your lymph nodes and you are developing fever, fatigue etc.  They will continue to see you at least a couple of times within a month period.

If you have a herpes virus that causes these ulcers to come up when you irritate your tongue, lips, or cheeks, there is an oral medication called Acyclovir that will help it heal.  However, we all bite our tongues at times.  Your dentist can give you a medication called Ora-5 that will help the area feel better while it heals.  The only way to stop these areas from coming back is to be more careful when you eat.  Slow down, a lot of people bite themselves when they are in a hurry when they eat.  I hope this helps.

It could be refereed pain.  Pain coming from either another tooth in that area or even above that area.   The mouth is very tricky when it comes to figuring out where the actual pain is coming from.  best thing to do is go to your dentist.  until then try taking some Advil (no more then 800mg every 6 hours).  You can also put ice on that side of your mouth which can help with the pain and if you have any swelling.  Put the ice on for 10 Min's, take it off for 10 and then back on for 10.  Do this for 30 Min's.  What ever you do, DONT PUT HEAT ON IT!  If you have an infection, it can get worse.  Good luck.

Canker sores usually go away without any treatment. For pain relief, you can try taking ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) or acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol). Other medicines, such as Anbesol, Oragel, Orabase and Zilactin-B, might keep your canker sores from becoming irritated by eating, drinking or brushing your teeth. You put these medicines right on the sore.\n\nYou can also mix equal amounts of Milk of Magnesia and Benadryl Allergy liquid. After it's mixed, you can swish a teaspoonful in your mouth for about 1 minute and then spit it out. If you do this every 4 to 6 hours, your canker sores may hurt less.\n\nSome people think that sucking on zinc lozenges, taking vitamin C or vitamin B complex, using a sage-and-chamomile mouthwash or taking a lysine supplement helps their canker sores heal faster.

Nothing is wrong with you. Most are caused by the herpes simplex virus, and 80% of the population has it. They come out when your immune system is compromised, like when you are sick or sleep deprived.\nUsing mouthwash will make them go away quicker. Also, getting a prescription, like Valtrex, prevents them and makes them go away quicker.

You need to go back to your dentist and make him fix this! NOW!\n\nIt should only have been open for 3 to 5 days.
