what causes mouth ulcers if you know please answer?

Answer 1

Exactly how canker sores form is unclear. However, it appears that they are caused by the patient’s own immune response. Canker sores form when the patient’s immune system responds to unidentified chemicals. Lymphocytes (a variety of white blood cell) rush to attack the unidentified "invader".

The canker sore is the result of our own antibodies ravaging the tender tissues of the gums and cheeks. Several "triggers" may precipitate such attacks:

Toothpastes and mouthwashes that contain SLS.
Research suggests that products containing sodium lauryl sulfate ("SLS"), a foaming agent in toothpastes and mouthwashes, may increase the recurrence rate of canker sores. SLS dries oral tissues, making them vulnerable to irritants.

Several studies show that participants who brush with an SLS-free toothpaste reduce the frequency of canker sore recurrence, in one study by as much as 81%. In this same study some of the participants reported that using SLS-free toothpaste also reduced canker sore severity.

Injury
Injury, often from a self-inflicted bite or irritation caused by braces, often precipitates canker sores. 38% of the participants of one study felt that their canker sores were precipitated by trauma.

Stress
Many people who suffer from canker sores often report that the ulcers coincide with periods of stress.

Nutritional Deficiencies
Some people (although not all) who suffer from canker sores have a nutritional deficiency. Some of the nutritional deficiencies correlated with the presence of canker sores are:
Vitamin deficiencies: B1, B2, B6, B12, C
Other nutrients: zinc, folic acid, iron, selenium, calcium
Allergies

Since canker sores are caused by our bodies’ immune response, it makes sense that they can be triggered by food allergies. Any substance that contacts the oral tissues may lead to an overzealous immune response.

Some of the potential triggers for canker sore outbreaks are:
Cereal grains: buckwheat, wheat, oats, rye, barley, the gluten protein found in grains
Sugar: Chewing gum and lozenges are especially bad.
Fruits and vegetables: lemons, oranges, pineapples, apples, figs, tomatoes, strawberries
Other foods: nuts, chocolate, shellfish, soy, vinegar, French mustard

Drugs
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), beta blockers, and chemotherapy may increase the frequency of canker sores

Genetics
One study found that 35% of those persons who get canker sores have at least one parent who suffers from them. Another study found that 91% of identical twins both suffered from canker sores while only 57% of fraternal twins did.

Medical Conditions
Behcet's disease, neutrophil dysfunction diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases (celiac and Cohn’s), HIV-AIDS, and some other conditions may be correlated with canker sores.

Now cold sores are a different story, they are caused by the herpes simplex virus.

Answer 2

Most common cause of mouth ulcers are viruses...usually herpes (it'll look like clear vesicles that burn)...sort of like cold sores...sharing drinks or kissing people with those ulcers can cause an infection since a lot of the mouth region are delicate tissues that can easily be tramatized.

If you have poor dental hygiene it shouldn't cause any ulcers, more cavities and bad breath.

If you are around kids, there are a lot of children's viruses that may also cause that...

Overall, I'd see your physician and find out, there are creams that can be put on them...DON'T treat it yourself, if its a virus and you buy some over the counter things, it'll make it worse.

Answer 3

Mouth ulcers huh. Well some STD's can cause them. some cancers of the body can. Go get a routine check up with your gen doctor. and ask for a blood test.

Answer 4

Ulcers can be caused by a variety of things. One thing that causes ulcers is stress, bacteria or it could be anything. Go to your local Pharmacy and buy a bottle of oral antiseptic,and take care of your teath and gums

Answer 5

Could be a lot of things. Too much salty foods, a virus like a cold sore or strep throat, creating suction in your mouth when your asleep, too much vitamin C, contact with acid in food like citris oil, etc...
If you have them chronicly, I would suggest going to the doctor to find out why. Could be a sign of a larger problem or nothing at all.
Always best to be safe than sorry.
