Mouth Ulcer Care

Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small, painful sores that develop on the inside of the mouth, lips, or tongue. They can be caused by stress, injury, or certain foods. Managing triggers and adopting healthy habits can help reduce symptoms and promote healing.

Causes

  • Stress and anxiety: Stress can trigger mouth ulcers in some people.
  • Injury: Accidental biting of the cheek or tongue, or rough dental work, can cause mouth ulcers.
  • Food sensitivities: Certain foods, such as citrus fruits, spicy foods, or acidic foods, can trigger mouth ulcers.
  • Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12, iron, or folate can contribute to mouth ulcers.

Do’s

  • Use a saltwater rinse: Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can help reduce pain and promote healing.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist and promote healing.
  • Practice good oral hygiene: Brush and floss your teeth regularly to prevent infection.

Don’ts

  • Avoid sharp or rough foods: Foods like chips or crackers can irritate the ulcer and worsen symptoms.
  • Don’t smoke: Smoking can worsen mouth ulcers and delay healing.
  • Limit stress: Stress can trigger mouth ulcers; try relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation.
  • Avoid certain mouthwashes: Some mouthwashes can irritate the ulcer and worsen symptoms.

Dietary Guidance

  • Soft foods: Eat soft, bland foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, or scrambled eggs to reduce discomfort.
  • Cold foods: Cold foods like popsicles or cold drinks can help numb the area and reduce pain.
  • Nutrient-rich foods: Include foods rich in vitamins and minerals, like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, to support overall health.
  • Avoid trigger foods: Identify and avoid foods that trigger mouth ulcers.

Additional Tips

  • Use a straw: Drinking through a straw can help reduce contact between the ulcer and liquids.
  • Avoid chewing gum: Chewing gum can irritate the ulcer and worsen symptoms.
  • Avoid spicy or acidic foods: These foods can irritate the ulcer and worsen symptoms.
