Answer 1

You may hear your doctor say you have "aphthous stomatitis"...canker sores or mouth ulcers!

Aphthous stomatitis occur in 80% of the population between the ages of 10-20 years of age, most often in women. The occurrence is thought to be related to the individual's immune system.
There are two types of canker sores:

1. Simple canker sores. These may appear three or four times a year and last up to a week.
2. Complex canker sores. These are less common and occur more often in the people who have previously had them.

These are usually found on the movable parts of the mouth such as the tongue or inside linings of the lips and cheeks. They are found IN the mouth. They begin as:
bullet

Small oval or round reddish swellings, that generally tingles and that usually burst within a day.

The ruptured sores are than covered by a thin grey, white or yellow membrane edged by a red halo.

Usually one quarter inch in diameter, 1-2mm wide

Factors that cause these reactions:
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): is the foaming agent found in most toothpaste and mouthwash formulations.. Foaming agents fill the mouth with suds, sending a signal to users that their mouths are clean. Ulcer may be caused by using SLS because it causes excessive sloughing of oral mucosa and dries the protective layer of oral tissues which causes underlying tissues to become damaged. People with canker sores have fewer outbreaks and less pain if they use SLS free products made by Rembrandt Extra Whitening Toothpaste Formulated for Cold Sore Sufferers, Tom's of Maine, Oxyfresh, TheraBreath Products, Breath RX products, Squigle Enamel Saver Mouth Friendly Toothpaste.

Women are more susceptible than men due to their menstrual cycles. Fatigue, stress or allergies increase your likelihood of getting cancer sores. People with intestinal problems such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are more susceptible. They usually heal in a week or two.

Here's how you treat it:
Rinse with antimicrobial mouthwash or warm water with salt

OTC oral anesthetics

Answer 2

A canker sore is an open sore in the mouth, which appears as a painful white or yellow ulcer surrounded by a bright red area. A canker sore is benign (not harmful).

Canker sores may also occur at the site of a bite when the tongue or cheek is bitten. They can be triggered by emotional stress, dietary deficiencies, menstrual periods, hormonal changes, food allergies, and similar situations. They occur most commonly with viral infections. They may occur with no identifiable cause.

You might inherit the tendency to develop canker sores, as they often run in families.
