Suggest Treatment For An Ulcer Near The Canine Tooth
I have an ulcer right behind my bottom canine tooth where my tongue sits at the back of my bottom row of teeth. It is very painful and now affecting the gum on the front side of that tooth. It is a little swollen and now red and very painful.
Im 26. Always have had great teeth and gum health. Never have had an ulcer in this area. I have been using a salt solution and it is not working.

Hello!Thank you for posting in HCM.
Apply a soothing ointment on the area like quadragel thrice daily.Apply before food for few minutes and rinse it. This should reduce to normal in 3-4 days.
I strongly recommend you to see the dentist if it persists beyond this to rule out infection in the gums.Continue the saline gargle thrice daily.
Use B-complex vitamin supplements.Do not poke with finger or tongue.
Hope this helps.
