Welcome to OCF forum. I'm in total agreement with Gary. Please seek the consultation of an ENT. Anything in your mouth area that doesn't heal within two weeks is cause for concern, not panic, but concern.

Is Canada's healthcare system so backlogged that you can't even see a dentist for several months? I know another user of this site from Canada who has had to wait several months for routine tests and scans. I feel so sorry for her. The disease is rough, but the waiting can become the worst part of the disease.

We're here to help in any way we can.

Plese keep us posted,
Lynn
