Mouth ulcers and sores, while often uncomfortable, are usually not a serious concern. Common types include canker sores (aphthous ulcers) which appear near the surface of the mouth and can be painful. Most ulcers heal naturally within one to two weeks. Certain foods, drinks, or habits can sometimes worsen the discomfort.
At Smile Studio Dental Clinic, we provide professional care for persistent or severe mouth ulcers. Early consultation helps identify the cause, relieve pain, and prevent complications. If an ulcer lasts longer than three weeks or is accompanied by other symptoms, it may indicate a more serious condition that requires treatment.
Small, tender sores appear inside the mouth, cheeks, gums, tongue, causing discomfort while eating or speaking.
Ulcers often start as red or white spots with inflamed surrounding tissue, easily noticeable inside the mouth.
The area around the ulcer may be swollen and sensitive to touch, making daily oral activities uncomfortable.
A mild burning or tingling feeling often precedes the appearance of the ulcer, signaling irritation or inflammation.
Mouth ulcers are usually caused by a combination of physical, dietary, and lifestyle factors. Minor injuries inside the mouth, like accidentally biting the cheek or irritation from braces, can trigger ulcers. Stress and emotional tension weaken the body’s natural defenses, making ulcers more likely. Nutritional deficiencies, particularly of iron, folic acid, or vitamin B12, can make the lining of the mouth more vulnerable. Certain foods, such as spicy, acidic, or rough-textured items, can irritate the mouth and worsen ulcers. Understanding these causes is important for proper treatment and prevention.
