"Dr. Nguyen and his staff are amazing! I went in as an emergency as I had knocked my tooth out and they were all so concerned and helpful. Dawn and June made sure that I was taken care of and Dr. Nguyen made sure that I left looking and feeling great, and, that I had all of the information I needed to make an informed future decision. Thank you all very much!"
"Excellent friendly care as always."
" Dr Nguyen and his staff are always wonderful. We are going to miss you guys when we move : (. "
Yep, it is most likely an apthous ulcer. If it does not resolve in 10 days, it might be something else. Do you remember traumatizing it? It can happen with something as simple as hitting the area with your toothbrush while brushing. It would be a good idea to see your dentist to have a comprehensive exam with xrays.
