Okay, just stay calm. \n\n  Sores in the mouth turn white when they start to heal. \n\n  Stay away from products for mouth sores. A lot of them contain lidocaine, or a dirivative of it. It numbs the area and help it to feel better, but it definately isn't recommended for pregnant women. \n\n  The best things to do are as follows. \n\n Warm salt water rinses will soothe the area. \n\n  Stay away from overly sugary foods. Stay away from spicy foods, spices irritate mouth sores. Cool liquids will help, nice cool water is best. Ice cram could be a nice soothing food to eat, and yummy too! :) Stay away from hot food, let your food cool to room temp before eating it until it goes away. \n\n    Don't brush too hard in that area, but keep your mouth nice and clean. \n\n  You'll be okay, it really is incouraging that you say it is white in color, it is a sign of healing and you may have a little bit of the skin slough (peel) off, But that is okay. \n\n  congrats on your pregnancy! much happiness to you :)

Its probably a canker sore.  You pretty much just have to wait those things out.  Keep acidic foods away from it in the meantime.  I get one everytime I go to the dentist and the last time it took a week for it to go away.

Canker sores tend to occur because of stress, illness, weakened immune system, injury caused by such things as hot food, rough brushing of teeth, or dentures.\n\nYou can use some essentials oils to soothe the pain and increase healing time such as Melissa, sandalwood, melaleuca quienquenervia.  Or you can mix sage withe either clove or lavender or sage with an essential oil blend produced by Young Living called thieves.\n\nGolden seal root powder taken internally can also help as well as an immune system supportive supplement called ImmuPro also produced by Young Living.\n\nIf you choose to try essential oils in a therapeutic context, please make sure they are of therapeutic-grade.  If you have difficulty finding them, feel free to contact me for further information.

you might consider getting one of the sports guards and cutting it to the size of your mouth and heating it to mold to your teeth as the directions tell you ..try sleeping in this and see if it helps the soreness until you can see your dentist.

Once the sore has drained, insert some packing into the remaining cavity to minimize any bleeding and keep it open for a day or two. \n\n\nplace bandage over the packing.\n\nMost people feel better immediately after the abscess is drained. \n\n\nIf you are still experiencing pain, ask the doctor for some pain pills for home use over the next 1-2 days.

A canker sore?  There are medications you can buy to help it to heal faster. OR,you can use my dad's old recipe of salt and warm water.  Swish it around and spit it out. The salt helps it to dry up and go away.

The easiest home remedy is to apply hydrogen peroxide (1 part hydrogen peroxide and one part water with a cotton swab) to the canker sore. Then dab a small amount of milk of magnesia on the canker 3-4 times a day. This is not only soothing, but appears to help healing.\n\nI think using a mouthwash such as listerine two to three times a day will keep the mouth clean/fresh and free of sores

Get some ambesol. When I got my wisdom teeth it itched instead of hurting, and that's what I used. Apply it with a cotton swab so that your entire mouth doesn't become numb.

According to the ADA (American Dental Association) there are plenty of things that can cause them such as bacterial, viral or fungal infections. A loose orthodontic wire, a denture that doesn't fit, or a sharp edge from a broken tooth or filling may also be the culprit. Mouth sores may be symptoms of a disease or disorder. A dentist should examine any mouth sore that lasts a week or longer. Most common mouth sores are Canker sores.  unlike cold sores, canker sores appear inside the mouth. And, they are not contagious. Their exact cause is uncertain but some experts believe that immune system problems, bacteria or viruses may be involved. Fatigue, stress or allergies can increase the likelihood of a canker sore.  A cut caused by biting the cheek or tongue, or reactions from hot foods or beverages may contribute to canker sore development. Intestinal problems, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, also seem to make some people more susceptible. \nTreating Canker Sores: They usually heal on their own after a week or two, but an outbreak may occur. Over-the-counter topical anesthetics and antimicrobial mouthrinses may provide temporary relief. Stay away from hot, spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the sore.  Antibiotics and some oral bandages can reduce secondary infection.

Is it a canker sore?  If so, soak a q-tip in peroxide and put it directly on it for a few seconds.  It won't sting or anything (not like the medicines at the store do).  It should clear up quickly.  I get them often after eating fruits high in acid like pineapple or after drinking orange juice. Very annoying.\n\nTo keep them from coming back, I recommend using Listerine (or the generic equivalent) after you brush your teeth every day.  It helps to prevent them.

seek professional advice IMMEDIATELY... this can be very serious... til you can get to the dentist/doctor try melaleuca oil... or some sort of other disinfectant/anti-bacterial treatment.\n\nYour dentist/doctor will probably put you on anti-biotics

canker sores hurt bad, but they don't know what causes them.  some suspect a vitamin deficiency, stress, or some sort of trauma like biting. i will tell you that they are not herpes or bacteria, so you don't have to worry about that. you could go to your doctor or dentist, but they probably won't be able to do anything.  their is a product called KANKA that really makes them feel better. it numbs the area for a long time, and puts a protective layer over the sore so it doesn't get more inflamed. hope this helps, it works for me!

Canker sores usually go away without any treatment. For pain relief, you can try taking ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) or acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol). Other medicines, such as Anbesol, Oragel, Orabase and Zilactin-B, might keep your canker sores from becoming irritated by eating, drinking or brushing your teeth. You put these medicines right on the sore.\n\nYou can also mix equal amounts of Milk of Magnesia and Benadryl Allergy liquid. After it's mixed, you can swish a teaspoonful in your mouth for about 1 minute and then spit it out. If you do this every 4 to 6 hours, your canker sores may hurt less.\n\nSome people think that sucking on zinc lozenges, taking vitamin C or vitamin B complex, using a sage-and-chamomile mouthwash or taking a lysine supplement helps their canker sores heal faster.

If its on your tongue and it is the result of a bite, it's not herpes. So, don't worry about that...\nIts called an apthous ulcer, or canker sore. There are medications that you can take to help aid in the healing, but it should go away after about a week... You could ask your dentist to recommend something, or see if he even has some samples...
