What is Mouth ulcers?
A mouth ulcer is a painful sore in the mouth. It appears on the tongue, the lips, and the gums or inside the cheeks. The first sign of the sore may be a tingling, burning sensation inside the mouth. They can occur either singly or in clusters. They are usually white or yellow in color, surrounded by red halos. Usually they heal within 7 to 10 days. There are 3 types of ulcers:

Minor ulcers

Large ulcers

Herpetiform ulcers (where one can have up to 100 very small painful ulcers)



Common Causes of Mouth ulcers
Nutritional deficiencies such as iron, vitamins, especially B12 and C

Poor dental hygiene

Food allergies

Stress

Infections particularly herpes simplex

Biting the cheek

Hormonal imbalance

Bowel disease

Skin disease




Home Remedies for Mouth Ulcers
Tips 1:

Grate some fresh coconut. Extract the milk and gargle with this 3-4 times a day.

Tips 2:

Keep 1 glass of chilled water and 1 glass of hot water ready at hand. Gargle alternately with hot and cold water.

Tips 3:

Boil 2 cups of water. Add 1 cup fenugreek leaves and remove. Cover and keep for sometime. Strain the water and gargle 2-3 times a day.

Tips 4:

Boil 1 tsp of coriander seeds in 1 cup of water. Remove when slightly warm gargle. Repeat 3-4 times a day.

Tips 5:

Chew on 5-6 tulsi (holy basil leaves) and sip some water. Repeat 5-6 times a day.

Tips 6:

Eating raw tomatoes helps rid mouth ulcers. Can also gargle with tomato juice 3-4 times a day.

Tips 7:

Mix 7 parts of sugar candy (mishri) with 1 part of camphor. Apply on the blister.

Tips 8:

Mix a pinch of turmeric powder to 1 tsp glycerine and apply.


The goal of treatment is relief of symptoms. The cause, if known, should be treated. Gentle, thorough oral hygiene may relieve some of the symptoms. Topical antihistamines, antacids, corticosteroids, or other soothing preparations may be recommended to apply to the mouth ulcer. Avoid hot or spicy foods, which often increase the pain of mouth ulcers.

Expectations (prognosis)

The outcome varies with the causative disorder. Many mouth ulcers are benign and resolve without specific treatment. Rarely, chronic mouth ulcers can develop into oral cancer.

technically speaking you cant remove mouth ulcers, because ulcers by definition are erosions of the lining. In other words, somethigns already been taken out.

Sounds cyclical. See your doctor/dentist.

Hi. I'm a dentist. You should not use tooth paste with soap detergent (SLS/Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), here where I live, it's called Zendium. You could ask at the drug store what they have. You can also put something on it, to make it heal faster, ask at the drug store what they have, here we have something called Afta Med. There is also surface anestesi, here it's called Dentinox (ask at the drug store), which you can put on with a q-tip if it hurts to eat/brush ur teath/talk. If you have severe problems, there are steroid treatment (local - like Kenacorte/general) that you could try, but you have to talk to a dentist/doctor who will give you a prescription.

Don't ever rinse your mouth with Klorhexidine.

Good luck. Just ask me if there is anything else.

You may like to see an experienced doctor. How about seeing a Ear Nose Throat specialist?
Or how about seeing an experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner? Chinese medicine has about 4500 years of history and may help.
My relative had a similar problem as you, and now she is well.

You can't remove them, they must go away by themselves. See a dentist or doctor about this problem, please.
