Someone told me it was caused by eating too much salt. Another person told me if put my fingers in my mouth and they were dirty, then it could be that...
so i was just wondering, cause I tend to get them a lot.
And I do eat a lot of salt...
hmm...

It's actually a form of the herpes virus (not the STD one). It can be aggravated by stress, poor diet and when you're immune system is down. Try rinsing with warm, salty water, or using Glycolic acid (you can buy this over the counter).

Caused when you bite the side of your mouth in the same spot too many times. There is no real remedy. Just leave it, don't lick it or anything. When the pain is getting too intense, have a small sip of cold water and let it rub against the ulcer.

Indigestion is the leading cause of mouth sores. Do you go very long periods without eating? In any event they have all kinds of medication for mouth sores. I would look into your diet. Something that you are eating often (maybe candy as that can do it) isn't sitting well with your stomach.

Improper fitting dentures would be the first thing I suspect.
Otherwise - are they canker sores? if so, avoid toothpastes with flouride at all costs. And mint and cinnamon flavored ones as well.
Go to a health food store, they can help you with that issue.
