Is there such a thing as a "stomach sore"?!


Question: Is there such a thing as a "stomach sore"!?
I noticed a single tiny dot-like thing on my upper gums!. My mother is a registered nurse and believes this is a "stomach sore"!. I have never heard of this before, and can't find anything online about it, yet I find it hard to imagine she just made it up!. Do they exist, and if so, what are they!?

Also, I am calling tomorrow for a dentist appointment so don't worry I am going to get it checked out!.!. I need a cleaning anyway!. I'm just asking this because I'm curious in the mean time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I think she's calling a mouth ulcer (aka fever blister) a stomach sore!. They can be caused by stomach acid, like if you had really bad heartburn!. But, it can also be a number of things!. You might be allergic to something!. Do you whiten!? I've heard those strips cause sores, especially if you're allergic to the whitening compound, like me!. If you've taken antibiotics recently, they can cause the normal bacteria in your mouth to go in "overdrive" and multiply, causing one or several sores!. It really just depends!.

But, it's good to go to the dentist!. I'm just listing my own experiences here and all!. I'd advise against the cleaning, though!. It might make the sore worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've heard of an ulcer being referred to as a stomach sore!. But the reference was to the sore actually being in the stomach and not the mouth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
