Why Is There an Ulcer Inside Your Cheek?
Start with the tooth itself. If one tooth has a sharp edge or a filling that feels rough, it can keep rubbing the same patch of cheek. And once that spot is sore, your cheek may rub against it even more while you eat or talk. That repeated irritation can stop the area from settling down.
Don’t Keep Blaming the Tooth
Sometimes the tooth gets blamed simply because the ulcer is nearby. Stress can trigger mouth ulcers. Irritation from toothpaste can play a role too, and nutritional deficiencies are another possible factor. Recurring ulcers can occasionally be linked with underlying health conditions, so frequent outbreaks deserve more attention than one random sore.
