I have a white spot on my gums above my front teeth and it hurts a little bit. I just got metal braces yesterday, so Im thinking it may be a result of that. Im not sure, though. What is it? Should I be worried?
White spot on Gums?
Is it flat with a red halo around it? Does it burn when you drink something like orange juice? If so, it is probably a canker sore. They happen when you have trauma to your mouth or are stressed out or both. They last about 7-10 days and can be pretty sore. Over the counter Orajel can help. If your teeth are otherwise healthy, which they'd have to be to be getting braces put on them, that is your most likely diagnosis. Your dentist can help with a prescription ointment if necessary.
