I just have a quick comment...

Sometimes toothpastes can be at fault. Same with mouthwashes.
The Triclosan in Colgate total and other mouth products has been shown in studies to cause mouth irritation.

One thing that might heal up the sores is Peroxyl rinse. You use this 4 or 5 times a day, with no food/liquid after for about an hour, and it will kill the bacteria that are preventing healing.
Mouth tissue regenerates very quickly, and should start healing up in 24 hrs.

Another culprit is yeast. If you have had antibiotics recently, you may have Candida.

Zinc, Vit C and CoQ-10 help the gums and mouth tissues remain healthy.
