Mouth Ulcer

Almost everybody has faced a mouth ulcer at one time.  They are painful and can make basic problems while eating or even talking which is uncomfortable. While ulcers are usually not a very serious issue, if left untreated, you may find that they become far more common and irritating.

What are mouth ulcers?

A mouth ulcer or an oral ulcer is basically found on the mucous membrane of the mouth. Oral Ulcers can be caused by mechanical, thermal or chemical or dental trauma to the oral cavity, Infection which can be the  reason for restricted mouth opening.

There are many different ways that these ulcers can arise, ranging from injury right through to a nutrient deficiency. Some people may find that they are more predisposed towards them, especially if they are heavy smokers or drinkers. On the other side of the coin, irritations from the likes of ill-fitting dentures can continually rub against the mucosal membrane, tearing it and creating a frequently occurring ulcer in the same area. It’s therefore important to make sure that any dental crowns and fillings are well-fitted and comfortable. A mouth ulcer will heal on its own – usually within a period of about two weeks.
