They're so annoying? I brush my teeth every day and yet I still have a white cut on my gum appear every so often and it's so annoying. They sting to high heaven.
Anybody else have this problem?

Not sure that I've had that happen specifically but I tend to bite the inside of my cheeks sometimes, like when chewing gum especially and that can hurt quite a bit. More so if I happen to bite the same place more than once. LOL
Have you asked your Dentist what they might be? He/she might be able to give advise on how to keep them from occurring.

I do the same thing. When I eat I bit the inside of my cheeks. I believe there called "Canker Sores". If you get them a lot then it means you need more vitamin C. So I would suggest to take vitamin C supplements.

So I would suggest to take vitamin C supplements. Well, that isn't what I was referring too, but I get those, too. I'll definitely try to get as much vitamin C that I can possibly get!

It's going away, but I have asked my mom to take me to the dentist for several different things and she still hasn't.

I do that all the time... it's the most annoying thing in the world. If your toothbrush is too hard (usually a medium is too hard for me) then it could be causing it. Or if you eat alot of acidic foods. especially tomatoes. they can really irritate your mouth.

And I like putting tomatoes in salads.

And I like putting tomatoes in salads. I have always grown up eating tomatoes with just about everything And my mouth stays sore constantly haha... I never really paid attention to the softness or whatever until I went to a hotel and forgot my toothbrush and the one they sent me was like brushing your teeth with one of those metal cleaning combs. So I started watching it haha.

LOL So far, with the tooth brushes that I generally buy, a medium isn't too hard (in my opinion, anywa). And besides, while the brush is new, I am careful how hard I brush my teeth with it.
