You must get to a Doctor and have them checked.  You definately need something to help with the wound healing.  Anytime you have cuts that are open are a red flag for infection.  It most likely will not be anything too serious that can't be fixed with proper care given.  As you asked, indeed it may be a nutrition item.

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.

sounds like you have a fungal infection called thrush. you can use a product called gly-oxide. it's an anti-septic mouth rinse. it will sting, but you have to swish it around for at least 30-45 seconds. then you can spray chloraseptic in your mouth and swish that around...it will really help to numb the pain. you could possibly have a virus too...if that's the case, it just has to run it's course...usually 7-10 days for canker sores. if you're not getting any better after 5 days or so, or start to run a fever, go to the doctor...they might have to swab your mouth for a culture to find out what you have, and determine if you need antibiotics.

It could be an ear infection or a toothache.  I know it sounds odd, but I had similar pain and it was because I needed a filling!

your making me think twice about getting mine pulled. i am glad i waited until after the holidays. it sounds like you could have an infection see your dentist,  but take some pain killers to hold you over until the holidays are done.

Lots of things can cause cuts in your gums. Tortilla chips can jab into them causing a cut... well, pretty much anything sharp. It should heal within about a week. If not, contact your dentist... but if it is just an injury, it should go away.

You can talk to either your dentist and they might recommend an oral surgeon to go to so that they can check your wisdom teeth.  Even though it isn't causing any pain they might recommend having them taking out because it causes your teeth to shift (at least thats what happened to me).

Definitely see a doctor. It could be an infection so you want to try to get help for it before it turns into something serious. Hope this helped!

Yes, see a physician. You may have an internal infection or something more serious like a disease.

Oh man you need to get them out ASAP.  Seriously, its only going to get worse.  I remember one time the whole side of my face was swollen, I couldn't eat, talk, I could barely even swallow.  Go to the dentist as soon as you can, it'd be the best bet.  So yeah, the pain is normal, and it sucks.  Good luck!

See a doctor.  There are certain ailments that cause this to happen.

hmmm... ask your doctor. it's probably nothing, but just get it checked anyway. have you gotten your wisdom teeth out yet??? that might be it...

Ask your dentist.  You might be able to use a removeable appliance that would be relatively inexpensive to fix a minor problem.
