Hi Jamie,
I too have faced similar problems. I had a prolonged ulcer on my gums, i ignored it for a couple of weeks. When the pain became unbearable I consulted a dentist, and he prescribed few antibiotics and did deep cleaning and scaling of my teeth. The dentist advised me not to keep ulcers untreated as they could lead to Gingivitis and more such serious diseases, which could lead to infection of gum line and tooth loss.
