I am sorry you are having this stress. You are a kind man to not want to worry your mother or your friends.

I wish I knew what is happening in your mouth; perhaps another person will post with some thoughts.

I know that I had a very dry mouth and my mouth would get sores easily when my thyroid was low. I used Iodoral (an iodine supplement) for it and eventually got it under control. There are some other supplements you would want to take with the iodine, if that is the problem.

Some people take L-Lysine for mouth issues. Also, some people are sensitive to the chemicals in regular toothpaste. If that is causing trouble, switching to baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) might help.

This website has a lot of information on oil pulling, which might be something to try, as it has helped many with mouth issues.

I am wondering what your age is and if you have other health problems. Would it be possible to get this looked at by a health professional? A doctor, nurse, dentist, etc?

Please let us know how you are doing! I will be praying for you.
