Are canker sores indicative of cancer, or are they linked to it?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It could be a common aphthous ulcer (canker sore). Several factors cause it. It could be due to a lack of vitamins, hormonal changes, psychological stress, allergies, an accident, or bacterial infection. A clear clinical image of the ulcer or bump will aid in determining what it is and what caused it. It may take a few weeks to heal if you have an aphthous ulcer. White tissue over that area could be healing tissues. Please do not bother them.

Furthermore, mucocele and canker sores are not cancerous. Your doctor was correct. Please have your impacted wisdom tooth extracted as soon as possible. I suggest you avoid hot and spicy foods and rinse your mouth thrice daily with warm saline. In addition, drink lots of water and keep yourself hydrated at all times. Also, rinse your mouth after every meal. Maintaining good oral hygiene and following the instructions mentioned above will help to prevent further ulcer infections and promote faster healing. A topical anesthetic like Orajel (Benzocaine Oropharyngeal) can be applied over the ulcers with a clean finger. You can do this before a meal so that they become numb after application and do not interfere with your normal food intake.
