Okay so had gum pain around or near one tooth for a month.
I’m pretty sure it’s an ulcer, when I went to the dentist a month ago he did a full scale of my mouth but never said it was an ulcer, admittedly when you look in the mirror it doesn’t look like much but is painful all day without anything coming into contact, which leads me to believe it’s an ulcer. Also when you take photos with flash (see below) you can see what I would deem a canker/ulcer?
I’m also aware I have gum loss on this tooth, but really don’t get pain in the tooth at all, just gum feels sore all day and very sore to press and a pressure of sorts.
Anyway here are some photos of the issue.
What do you think? Ulcer/canker?
The appearance of it changes often over the last few weeks, but I have attached some photos at the following -
Myrrh Tincture works great with mouth sores/issues. When I get a little flair of something I go for the Myrrh and it's gone in no time. Hope you are smart enough to not smoke. Talk about gum damage.

It does look a bit like an ulcer and it's inflamed, but if you're feeling pressure I think you have an abcess under the gum's surface, that can cause a whitish ulcerated appearance on the surface above the abcess, very painful. Go get the dentist to examine it again and maybe all you will need is a prescription from him for antibiotics.
If dentist refuses prescription or won't take x-ray to look for abcess or says it's not an ulcer/canker/abcess and can't offer a satisfactory diagnosis go see your family medical practitioner immediately. Not trying to scare you but it's very important that you MUST be able to at least rule out mouth cancer because many mouth cancers can look like what you have on your gum when they're just starting up.
