It appears to be a canker sore, apthous ulcer. There are ointments that can help relieve the discomfort and there is Laser treatment that can help. Besides the Laser and ointments avoid spices, hot food and keep area clean.

You can ask your Dentist if he/she has Laser treatment or if they have Debactorol.

That appears to be an apthous ulcer (canker sore) it will heal usually in a week or so. Few dentists are aware there is a laser treatment protocol for this irritating condition. Most dentists tell people they do not need to do anything since it will heal, but as someone who gets them myself from time to time, I was glad to find a way to immediately improve the discomfort and to speed up recovery by at least 50%. Go towww.Biolase.com click patient then look for find a WaterLase dentist, type in your zip code and find your laser dentist who can offer relief quickly by performing a laser bandage procedure that takes just a few seconds.
Looks like an apthous ulcer. Nothing to worry about. It should disappear in about 3 weeks. Non contact with a soft tissue laser in pulse mode will eliminate the pain in seconds.

A canker sore is a localized immune problem that is self limiting, your body is having a reaction to itself and is goes away in 10-14 days in most cases.
It appears to be a canker sore (small ulceration inside the mouth). Most canker sores heal with no treatment in about 10 days. There are several prescription anti-inflamatory agents used topically for pain management such as Kenalog in Orabase. Recent advancements in dental technology have changed the way canker sores are treated. A 15 minutes laser dental appointment can zap the canker sore keeping it from getting more painful and speeding healing. It is best to get the laser treatment the first day you get the canker sore.

I believe that you are affected by a minor apthous ulcer, aka canker sore. Since you are already at day 4 one more week of "toughing it out" should suffice to clear this painful lesion. Avoid spicy, sharp foods, or foods that can cause it (you might note a temporal correlation to something you consume that often precedes this event). There are treatments that your oral healthcare provider can do to alleviate discomfort such as special rinses and laser "bandages" where the ulceration is cauterized. Check with your local doctor to see if they offer any of these treatments.

looks like may be "canker sore" there ar3e many treatments for immediate relief but will usually go away on it's own within 2 weeks . It still should be seen by dental professional to evaluate because you cannot get an accurate diagnosis by picture alone and could be something more serious.

more that likely it is an apthus ulcer will heal in 7- 10 day best treatment there is is a product called debactoral works instantly
