I have this white sore on my gum and it is very painful. It kind of looks like a canker sore but I hear canker sores don't appear on your gums, only the cheeks of your mouth. So what could this be?

Are you using a whitening tooth paste? It has something in it that causes sores in my mouth that won't go away while I am using it.
The Dentist told me you can put peroxide on a q-tip and put it on it to help it clear up.

canker sores can appear on your gums, so don't listen to what you have heard from others. canker sores fit the description that you are giving- inside your gums, white, and very painful when eating and talking. there is things you can do to help rid of the sore, but it takes 1-3 weeks to heal if it is a minor sore. talk to your doctor about suggestions on what over the counter medicine creams you could apply to the sore 3-4 times a day. also, eating soft, creamy food like yogurt help, and avoid anything rough like peanuts. good luck with this.

It's most likely a canker sore. I've had them on my gums before and all over the insides of my mouth...they hurt like crazy, but it will get better.

You should go to the dentist. If you have an abscess in a tooth sometimes it will manifest into a pimple to release the infection. They look like a white or cream colored bump and hurt like hell. It will not pass on it's own, it will have to be taken care of professionally. They will drain it and might inject a powder type antibiotic in between tooth and gum. It will feel soooo much better.

It could be pulled skin. When you pull skin in your mouth it stings. It can happen from biting hot food, getting hit, ect.
