I have a sore in my mouth between my inside cheek and below the teeth line, toward the back of my mouth. Any suggestions?

Depends on how long you have had it?  If you have had it for more then a couple of weeks then I would see your dentist.  Sounds like you hit the area when you were brushing your teeth.  I do this sometimes when I am not paying attention.  There is not much tissue back there but a lot of bone and if you hit it often with your tooth brush then it can become sore.  Swish with warm salt water, and take it easy when you are brushing.  Like I said if you have had it for awhile or it does not resolve in a week or so see your dentist.  Sores in the mouth are nothing to play with.

If its still sore on monday you should get it looked at by a doctor.  If it gets very bad in the meantime then I think you'll be taking a trip to the hospital...;

It sounds like a heat rash to me. I dont think herpes itches down there at least a cold sore a person gets on their mouth which is also known a version of herpes doesnt itch all it stings. Try using some cream that has zinc oxide in it like desitin. Zinc oxide is great for rashes. I think ya need to go to the doc tho so you can get their openion.

If you've "tried everything," maybe it is not really a cold sore.  Maybe you have a sharp edge of a tooth that is irritating your tongue.  Maybe it is a tumor.  Get it checked by your dentist.

Before you sleep take aspirin or a pain reliever. I just put ice in my mouth and keep it near where the pain is. It usually numbs the pain, and it dissolves so there is no clean-up!

It sounds like you need to look at getting a new set of dentures. Your gums continue to shrink and change shape and you need to get your dentures refitted every few years.\n\nUntil you can get them fixed up you could use an ibuprofen based pain killer. However you shouldn't use these for very long as they can cause damage.\n\nAlso try rubbing baby's teething gel onto your gums to numb the area.

You can try gargling with salt water a few times a day - that may sting a bit, but it does help keep things from getting infected.  Also, keep using the numbing gel, and perhaps placing wax on the tooth that is hitting the sore will help (an old trick I used when I had braces.)\n\nGood luck!

Time heals it the best.  If you have any Chlorhexidine rinse (PerioGard) you can rinse with it.  It is an antimicrobial rinse that reduces bacteria.  You can get some from you dentist.  Be sure not to irritate the area more.  Try not to drink citrusy drinks or fruits or spicy things till it heals.  Even some toothpastes may aggravate it.  I always hate it when I get one.  Is it at the tip of you tongue?  That seems to be the most common area.  Patience is the best medicine! (but a topical numbing agent can help too-check out your dental aisle ).

It will go away take the strongest pain killer you can find and get some sleep try to stay off the side in pain. Your teeth are very sensitive right now, so put the front to use, and stay away from too hot or too cold foods. I've been through it, hope you feel better

well that happens to me sometimes. i use aquaphor (my lips can get very easily chapped) and apply it twice a day. its like vaseline. so if u dont have that, i would highly recommend vaseline. put alot of it  on too, its very soothing and try not to open your mouth much ok? hope this helps! (i did this when i got my wisdom teeth removed since i also had a cracked lip on the side of my mouth but i used aquaphor instead)

Sounds like TMJ.  You definately want to see a doctor about it.  He will most likely tell you to wear a mouth guard at night to prevent you from clenching your jaw while you are sleeping.

just have him us peroxide to rinse it out for the next few days and it should go away. If you don't brush you tongue, you can get these types of sores.

it could be ulcerated or even injured from something you ate. if the symptoms remain after a few more days i would advise contacting your dentist and having him look at the area.

i have suffered from canker sores my entire life. As you probably know, once you have them, you just have to let them run their course. \n\nSome suggestions:\n\nif you can get to a doctor ask for codeine. I had 5 canker sores on my tonsils about 2 years ago. It was the most pain I have ever felt in my life, worse than the time I cracked my tailbone or got my foot run over by a car. It was absolutely awful. My doctor said there was nothing she could do and gave me codeine. It really helped. If you can't get to a doctor take 3 or 4 advil at a time. You need massive doses to calm the pain.\n\n2nd. Do not use regular toothpaste as it has an ingredient that agravates the lining of the mouth and can cause canker sores and make them worse. Ever since I changed toothpaste a get canker sores much less frequently, they are not as big, and they heal faster. Try Toms all natural toothpaste. It has been a life saver.\n\nI also read that sugarless gum can cause canker soars and I totally believe it because whenever i lose my will power and chew carefree gum, i get a canker sore.\n\nHope this helps. Get better soon.

I had braces, and for the first few days your mouth is sore, but it goes away. You should eat soft foods that don't require much chewing. If you get your braces tightened it will also hurt a bit. But your mouth may be used to everything because you already have spacers. It's different for everyone. Good luck!

Oh honey I know how you feel! Mine came in (and I grind my teeth at night) so I had a huuuge hole in my cheek area where I had actually chewed away the skin and the new tooth was making it raw! Gargle with warm sea salt water, use IB Profin or Tylenol at night may want to put a nice warm compress against your face. None of those gel and liquid pain relievers for tooth aches helped me, it actually made it worse, I think there might be sugar or something in them because it made my tooth ache horribly. I hope this helps some. Good luck! Best wishes
