Sometimes the cause is pretty ordinary. A sharp tooth may keep rubbing the same patch of tissue. A filling with a rough edge can do it too. You might also have irritated the area while brushing or burned your mouth on food that was much hotter than expected.<\/p>\r\n
Stress and tiredness are common triggers for mouth ulcers too. Some people also get them after eating foods that irritate the mouth. Spicy or acidic food is a big one.<\/p>\r\n
If the ulcer sits in exactly the same place as a sharp tooth or rough filling, pay attention to that connection. The sore may keep coming back because the tissue never gets a proper chance to settle.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Warm salt water, especially when the area feels raw and brushing near it sounds awful.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Softer foods are easier for a few days, particularly if chewing keeps catching the ulcer.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Skip very spicy or acidic foods for now. Honestly, testing the sore with hot sauce is a terrible experiment.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A pharmacist can suggest an oral pain-relief product if the ulcer is making eating difficult.<\/p>\r\n
Most mouth ulcers settle without treatment. But a sore that stays around deserves more attention, especially if it keeps returning in the same spot.<\/p>\r\n
See a dentist or doctor if the ulcer lasts longer than three weeks. You should also get it checked if it becomes unusually painful, starts bleeding, becomes more red, or looks different from ulcers you’ve had before. Persistent mouth ulcers can occasionally be linked to a more serious condition, including mouth cancer, so don’t ignore one that refuses to heal.<\/p>\r\n
