Frequent ulcers in mouth can be a sign of some error in your body – Dentzz

You must have had certain situations in life when you are out for a birthday party of your dearest friend or with your boss for a corporate meet up over a meal. The delicious food is in front of you waiting to tingle your taste buds leaving your mouth watery. But there’s something at the back of your mind troubling you because of which you are left with no option but to say no to the food, in front your boss or your dearest friend. The reddish-white little thing in your mouth commonly known as ulcer, can trouble you to the bits and core leaving a continuous burning sensation in your mouth.

Ulcers are the open painful soars in the mouth which are caused due to many reasons like wounds and cuts in the mouth, stress, improper food habits etc. and that makes you feel uncomfortable enough that you can’t eat your food properly and sometimes even can’t talk properly depending upon it’s severity.

Types of mouth ulcers:

Minor ulcer: These are smaller in size and so is their impact. Minor ulcers are less painful and they clear up within 10 days to 2 weeks (without any medication)

Major ulcer: The impact of such ulcers is severe and can take several weeks to clear up. They are bigger and deeper with no specific shape and border. Such ulcers can leave scars in your mouth.

Herpetiform ulcer: In this type there is a collection of many minute ulcers

Causes of Ulcers:

Dental experts at Dentzz Dental, USA say that the main reason for getting mouth ulcers is unknown and there are several reasons which can cause ulcer that are: Stress, indigestion or bad food habits, pointed edges of uneven protruding tooth/teeth, sharp edges of braces or dentures etc.

They say that if the Ulcers occur once in a blue moon then there is no big deal about it because it can be treated with normal medication  which be explained later in this article.  But if it occurs repeatedly than it might be a sign of something that is not right and should be treated as soon as possible to avoid any further problems.

As defined earlier that an Ulcer is a wound inside the mouth, if it occurs repeatedly then it might be the reason that some pointed edge of the protruding tooth must be coming in contact with the inside walls of your cheeks. Same is the case with braces and dentures. Doctors at Dentzz say that this is the common reason (apart from other reasons) if you are getting ulcers in your mouth very frequently and this should be treated as soon as possible because it may leave bruises inside your mouth.

I will just give a synopsis about the prevention but for a detailed information on medication you can refer to the blogs of Dentzz.

-          - The first and the foremost thing is that you have to maintain a good oral health by brushing and flossing regularly. 

-         -  Treat the tooth that is brushing against the other parts of your mouth

-          - Avoid spicy and acidic foods, they trigger ulcer.
