I'm pretty sure I've got a canker sore on my palatoglossal arch, and it's been growing. There's no headache or stomach pain, just pain right where the ulcer seems to be. If it's not a canker sore, what else could it be? It's been around for a week now and isn't showing any signs of shrinking or healing. What should I do to treat it? I'm starting to get a bit worried.

consult a ENT specialist for further management. Any long standing ulcer should be biopsied and ruled out for malignancy.

View allI've had a tongue ulcer for about three days now. It's on the lower right side and doesn't hurt much unless I touch it. I've been using zytee gel, but it hasn't helped yet and I'm starting to get worried. Could this be an early sign of oral cancer? I've also got some broken teeth and other dental issues. Any advice?

I'm really worried because a little piece of my tooth in the upper jaw, close to my wisdom tooth, broke off a couple of days ago, and it just keeps hurting constantly. I've been taking Zerodol-P and Augmentin 375 like someone suggested to help with the pain, but it's not getting any better. Should I be doing anything else before I can see a dentist, or is there something specific I should ask them?

My wisdom teeth are half in and half out of my gums, causing pain and swelling off and on. The issue flares up for a week or so, then goes away for a few months before coming back. I really don't want surgery is there any way to manage the pain and swelling permanently?
The recurring pain and swelling around your partially erupted wisdom teeth, known as pericoronitis, can be managed through a combination of home care and professional dental treatments. While surgery might be a long-term solution, there are ways to control the symptoms and prevent or minimize future flares.
