what causes mouth ulcers? what vitamins am i lacking?

Answer 1

need more details as some are a type of herpes

Answer 2

I don't know about vitamins helping. My mom has suffered from mouth ulcers for years and the dentist never told her anything about taking a certain vitamin. My mom is good about eating healthy and she takes her vitamins and all. She did notice that eating foods that are acidic cause breakouts. She switched her toothpaste as well. Rembrant makes a toothpaste that is specifically for people with mouth ulcers. My mom found this gave her much needed relief. Also taking a tea bag (after using it in hot water so it is activated) and pressing it against the ulcer helps, or try baking soda or gargle with salt water. Hope this helped!
