Tongue lesion

Doctors

After I brush my teeth, about 30 minutes later, I get this guncky thick sticky white stretchy stuff on my cheeks, under my tongue. I use toothpaste with the ADA symbol on it. Just wondering what it is. If I use toothpaste without the ADA logo on it, I don't have this problem.

It might be pus due to an infection of teeth. Consult a dentist immediately. ...

Then they grew and seemed to bust and started to go down. They look some like a chancre or a lesion when it was going down. They itch a little bit I guess that's from healing but I am freaked out. I had unprotected sex with another woman maybe a month before the night I began the marathon. I have pics please help.

On monday i got a canker sore on the bottom left side of my mouth under my tongue next to my gums. Ive been using warm water with salt every day to kill it. Its getting better but now i have little tiny skin with white tips hanging from the bottom of my tongue that are sensitive. Is this because of the Canker sore? or is there something else going on?

Oral ulcers or apthae are common in the oral cavity induced by several reasons. Most commonly you would experience burning sensation in the mouth. If it asymptomatic, no medication is required. Do not use any salt as it would aggravate the lesion. Apthous ulcers are self limiting. ...

I had a tooth surgically extracted Dec. 20th. It has felt like it has not healed properly. Five days ago I noticed the inside gum (under tongue) back from where the tooth was extracted had exposed bone and is extremely painful. I went back to the dentist today and she said it was not from the extraction, but was a mouth ulcer causing the bone to be exposed. She Rx'ed magic mouthwash and lortab 5mg. I have appt with oral surgeon on Thursday. I am concerned about she didn't give me antibiotics and the surgeon wont give any until consultation. Is this dangerous to have exposed bone?

The dentist asked me if I had been sick or had a cough because I had blood blister looking bumps on the back of my tongue. I haven't been sick so now I am worried about it. The dentist didn't say anything further. They just look like little red bumps, almost like swollen taste buds. Should I worry? They don't hurt.

Keep under observation ...

I woke up this morning and one of my teeth that I had a root canal done on years ago felt 'exposed' in the back by where my tongue is. The gum has always been a little higher there after the accident but this is more than usual. I got a mirror and looked and it looks like there's a hole in my gum behind that tooth. The gums that are there are above the hole are swollen. It doesn't really hurt unless I push on the swollen gingiva with my tongue. What should I do?

Consult your dentist and get a tooth x-ray done to learn the nature of problem. ...
