What causes mouth ulcers?

Answer 1

There are many causes of ulcers, the common ones are;

1) Viral infections; Herpes simplex (However recent studies have refuted this belief)

2) Nutritional Deficiency; eat your fruit and leafy vegetables! (explained further below)

3) Gastro Intestinal Disorders that creates lesions which are found throughout our alimentary tract and hence are seen in our mouth and all the way down to the intestines.

4) Gastro Intestinal Disorders that lead to physical damage in the digestive system and hence leading to nutritional deficiency.

5) Gastro Intestinal Disorders or disease that leads to the removal of parts of our digestive system. The lack of these organs also leads to nutritional deficiency.

5) Chemical Trauma

6) Physical Trauma

7) Stress is implicated in ulcers and also exacerbates ulcers to form in patients with recurrent apthous ulcers--> patients who have ulcers in a cyclic pattern.

Answer 2

Stress can bring them up, as well as stomach problems which result in over-production of acid, friction from braces can also irritate the mouth and cause ulcers.
The best treatment is to rub salt on the ulcer....leave it to soak in, but do not swallow it, then rinse out the mouth.

Answer 3

mouth ulcers are mainly caused due to constipation and other digestion related problems.

there is no quick remedy for it.

it is very very important to drink plenty of water (8-10 glasses a day atleast), take some laxative food such as figs or you get fig syrup in Boots / pharmacy. Also ensure you include plenty of fibre in your daily food (this will help your bowel movement)

once your stomach starts to get normal, your mouth ulcers will start to disappear

in the meantime i would advise you to apply 'Bon Gela' on the ulcer twice a day to reduce the pain.

:) hope this helps.

Be sure you're brushing gums, tongue, cheeks (when they're not too painful, and gargle/swish your throat and mounth with hydrogen peroxide (spitting it out of course) --also, gargling with warm salt water may help, if not too uncomfortable, draws out the infection. (I learned this from my own pediatrician about those strept throat white lumps.) But do see your dentist, maybe he/she can recommend something to prevent them.
