Mouth Ulcer Treatment

Relief from Painful Mouth Sores with Expert Care

Mouth ulcers — also known as canker sores — are small, painful lesions that develop inside the mouth, on the cheeks, tongue, gums, or inner lips. While most ulcers heal on their own, persistent or recurring ulcers can be a sign of an underlying condition and may require professional treatment.

At [Clinic Name], we offer effective and gentle care for treating mouth ulcers and preventing them from coming back.

Common Symptoms of Mouth Ulcers

• Painful sores inside the mouth

• Burning or tingling sensation before the ulcer appears

• Redness or swelling in the affected area

• Difficulty eating, drinking, or speaking

• In severe cases: fever, swollen lymph nodes, or fatigue

Common Causes

• Stress or lack of sleep

• Nutritional deficiencies (Vitamin B12, Iron, Folic Acid)

• Injury from braces, sharp teeth, or accidental bites

• Food allergies or spicy/acidic foods

• Hormonal changes

• Underlying health issues (like gastrointestinal disorders)

Our Treatment Approach

1. Oral Examination
   We examine the ulcer(s) and review your medical history to determine the cause.

2. Topical Medication
   We prescribe soothing gels, antiseptic mouthwashes, or corticosteroid creams for pain relief and faster healing.

3. Nutritional Support
   If deficiencies are suspected, we recommend vitamin supplements and diet changes.

4. Laser Treatment (if needed)
   For recurring or severe ulcers, soft tissue laser therapy may be used to promote healing and reduce discomfort.

5. Preventive Advice
   We guide you on oral hygiene practices, diet changes, and stress management to prevent future ulcers.
