Collection: Ulcers

 Mouth ulcers are painful sores that appear in the mouth. These can be triggered by uncontrollable factors such as:

-Hormonal changes, genetics, long term conditions: Such as IBD or Coeliac disease or Vitamin B12 or Iron deficiency.

 Mouth ulcers can also be caused by factors that can be avoided such as:

-Food Intolerance or allergy, cuts or burns when eating, stress/anxiety, badly fitted dentures, braces or sharp teeth 

Home treatment can help to reduce swelling and ease any discomfort. This may help if you keep getting mouth ulcers or your mouth ulcer affects eating and drinking. Things you can do to speed up healing include:

• Applying a protective paste/ specialist product.
• Using a soft toothbrush to brush your teeth.
• Avoiding hard, spicy, salty, acidic, or hot food and drink until the ulcer heals.
