Mouth Ulcers Treatment

What Are Mouth Ulcers?

Mouth ulcers (also called canker sores) are small, painful sores that develop inside the mouth — commonly on the inner cheeks, lips, tongue, or the floor of the mouth. While most are harmless and heal on their own, recurring or severe ulcers can be a sign of underlying health conditions and may require professional treatment.

Mouth ulcers are not contagious, but they can interfere with eating, speaking, and daily comfort. At StarShine Dental Clinic, we offer advanced and personalized care for mouth ulcers using modern, pain-free techniques.

What Causes Mouth Ulcers?

Mouth ulcers can occur for a variety of reasons. Identifying the root cause helps in delivering effective and long-term relief. Some common causes include:

  • Accidental cheek or tongue biting
  • Stress and emotional trauma
  • Deficiency in vitamins (especially B12, folic acid, iron)
  • Hormonal fluctuations
  • Food allergies (spicy, citrus, or acidic foods)
  • Dental appliances like braces or ill-fitting dentures
  • Viral or bacterial infections
  • Medical conditions (e.g., celiac disease, Crohn’s disease)

Symptoms of Mouth Ulcers

  • A round or oval sore inside the mouth
  • Pain, especially while eating or drinking
  • A white, yellow, or red center with red edges
  • Burning or tingling before the sore appears
  • Swollen lymph nodes (in some cases)
  • Fever or fatigue in severe cases

If your ulcer lasts more than 2 weeks, spreads, or becomes very painful, consult our dentist immediately.

How Do We Treat Mouth Ulcers?

At StarShine Dental Clinic, we treat mouth ulcers with a holistic approach focused on pain relief, healing, and prevention. Depending on the type and cause, treatment may include:

  • Topical medications – Numbing gels, antiseptic creams, or corticosteroid ointments
  • Mouth rinses – Antibacterial or antiviral rinses to reduce infection
  • Laser therapy – For faster healing and pain relief in severe or recurring ulcers
  • Nutritional support – Vitamin and mineral supplementation if deficiency is the root cause
  • Dental adjustment – Smoothing sharp teeth or adjusting braces/dentures to prevent trauma
  • Biopsy – In rare, persistent cases, to rule out serious conditions

How to Take Care of Mouth Ulcers?

Once your ulcers heal, it's essential to prevent them from coming back. Here’s how:

  • Eat a balanced diet rich in iron, B12, and folic acid
  • Protect your mouth from accidental trauma (e.g., while brushing)
  • Avoid triggers like tobacco, certain foods, and stress
  • Stay hydrated and practice daily oral care
  • Visit your dentist regularly for preventive check-ups
