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.

My 3D xray shows the root canal is overextended but my dentist says it was done on purpose to clean out infection at the tip and he placed some medication there. He also mentioned I might need minor surgery for the labial bone part. Does this explanation make sense medically? I'm a bit confused about the report and want to understand if this treatment approach is correct

Actually your case is of external root resorption in which a part of root is dissolved may be becoz of infection or any old trauma. So the root canal filling which may be normal at that Time and now its overextended. So dont worry its not a big deal. Either u can treated by re rct (repeat root canal) or by the small root resection surgery.

Who should I see for removing a mucous cyst a dentist or a dermatologist? I'm not sure which specialist handles this kind of thing and I'm a bit worried about getting it checked out

For a mucous cyst removal, you should consult a dentist or a dermatologist. Dermatologists commonly handle cysts on the skin, while a dentist would be the best choice for a mucous cyst located inside the mouth. If the cyst is causing discomfort or persists for more than a couple of weeks, it's recommended to seek professional help.
