I have a mouth ulcer on my bottom lip near my gums. I only noticed it this morning but I'm worried already. My gums around the ulcer are all red and look kinda swollen. The gum holding one on my teeth in place has like, shrunk. It isnt as thick as my other gums holding my teeth in place. I've looked on a few websites and I'm worried that it might be gum disease. Although my gums arnt bleeding.
It said on one of the websites that an ulcer can cause swelling of the gum, so that could be why it is red and seems to have shrunk. But while looking on a website about gum disease it said that in early stages of gum disease it could cause the gum to pull away from the teeth. :(
I don't know whether it is just a mouth ulcer or gum disease. I haven't tried Bonjela yet as we haven't got any. I'm going to my mum's today and shes just like a nurse and knows a lot about diseases and irritation, etc. So I'll ask her before doing anything else. It also said on one of the websites that a mouth ulcer can be provoked by hormonal changes, so that could be why my ulcer has caused all of this.
I don't know what it is though, I do have an ulcer but I dunno if it's done all of this just because of that. I really hope it isnt gum disease. :( What do you think I should do?
