Hi all,
I know this isn't teeth related as such but I thought I'd post anyway. I think I bit my tongue a few days ago, and (I don't know if it contributed to it but) I now have what I think is an ulcer type thing on my tongue. I'm sure when I was younger I used to get the occasional ulcer and it would be painful, last a few days then get better. I haven't had any in absolutely years so I was a bit surprised to suddenly get one now. I am pregnant so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Anyway the ulcer is situated right on the side of my tongue and on the side of the mouth that I usually chew on. This means that every time I chew or run my tongue around my teeth (as I do lots) it keeps catching on my teeth and is quite painful. Yesterday I seemed to have a sort of dull pain there all day but today it seems to have died down a bit.
Does anyone have any experience of dealing with these types of things or for making them heal a bit faster? I know there is something that you can put down next to the gum but as this is on my tongue I'm not sure that would stay there.
Thanks very much,
Beamish
