What is Canker sore?
  • Canker sores , also known as aphthous ulcers, are
    small, shallow lesions that form on the soft
    tissues in your mouth or at the base of your
    gums. In contrast to cold sores, canker sores do
    not happen on the surface of your lips and they
    are not contagious. They could be painful,
    however, and could make eating and talking
    difficult.
  • Most canker sores go away on their own within a
    week or so. Check with your doctor or dentist if
    you have uncommonly large or painful canker sores
    or canker sores that do not seem to heal.

Cause Of Canker Sores
  • A minor injury to your mouth from dental work,
    overzealous brushing, sports accidents, or an
    accidental cheek bite
  • Toothpaste and mouth rinses consisting of sodium
    lauryl sulfate
  • Food sensitivities, especially to chocolate,
    coffee, strawberries, eggs, nuts, cheese, and
    spicy or acidic foods
  • A diet that is short of vitamin B-12, zinc,
    folate (folic acid), or iron
  • An allergic response to specific bacteria in your
    mouth
  • Helicobacter pylori, the very same bacteria that
    cause peptic ulcers
  • Hormonal shifts during menstruation
  • Emotional stress
