[|Human|] There are a few sore, raw areas inside my cheeks near my gums, they feel like little rough patches when I feel them with my tongue. My teeth are also sore- not one certain tooth, and not sensitivity or sharp pain, just a deep ache that seems to be coming from the jaws. My wisdom teeth may be starting to come in (Im 18 years old) but I also read that teeth soreness can be a menstrual symptom (the tooth pain and raw skin began just before my period and persists now while my period is just ending). I am wondering if I have some kind of gum disease?
[|AI|]  Hi, thanks for your query. The condition you are explaining is oral ulcer/mouth ulcer. Mouth ulcer is a sore or open lesion in the mouth. Mouth ulcers are very common, occurring in association with many diseases and by many mechanisms, but usually there is no serious underlying cause. Treatment is cause related, Maintaining good oral hygiene and use of an antiseptic mouthwashes/sprays (e.g. chlorhexidine) can prevent secondary infection and therefore hasten healing. A topical analgesic (e.g. Benzedrine mouthwash) may reduce pain. Topical (gels, creams]this also can be cured by balanced diet, or systemic steroids may be used to reduce inflammation. Pain in toot hay be because of tooth decay. Visit your dentist and get an opinion. Hope this is helpful.
