Oral Ulcers

• An oral ulcer is the cause absence of
  full-thickness epithelium in the mouth.
• In other words, the surface layer of the lining
  skin of the mouth, also known as the mucosa, has
  a breach, similar to a cut in the skin. It starts
  with the soreness in the soft tissue lining of
  your gums, lips, tongue, inner cheeks, or roof of
  the mouth.
• The ulcer in the mouth is often yellow or red and
  may or may not occur one at a time but can stay
  for days, weeks or months. Since it doesnt have
  a permanent solution, it might also recur over
  time.
• Though the ulcer can emerge in no time, some
  ulcers may have a previous stage, commonly known
  as a prodromal phase, before they emerge. This
  could cause a tingling or a burning sensation.
  Depending on the type, the ulcer in the mouth can
  be painful or painless. But to avoid the growth
  of these ulcers, it is important to report both
  painful and non-painful ulcers.
• Signs and Symptoms
• It is not difficult to spot an ulcer. They
  commonly come out as sores on your lips, gums,
  tongue, inner cheeks, or roof of your mouth.
  Mouth ulcers, while red along the edges are
  usually white, yellow, or grey in the core. Some
  of the mouth ulcer symptoms are
• Inflammation around the ulcer.
• Soreness or irritation while brushing your teeth.
• Pain or burning sensation while eating spicy,
  salty, or sour food.

Causes
Oral ulcers may have an unknown origin. However,
some of the factors are

• Minor tissue damage from dental treatment. Biting
  your tongue or cheek accidentally.
• Vitamin deficiency or imbalance in nutrition
  intake. Using harsh toothpaste.
• Consuming a lot of acidic food, including fruits
  like oranges. Stress or sleep deprivation.
• Infections caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi.
• Treatments
• Although most mouth ulcers heal on their own,
  your doctor may suggest treatments to relieve
  pain and reduce the risk of developing future
  complications. Typical treatments for mouth ulcer
  may include antiseptic gels, ointments that may
  have steroids, and medicated mouthwashes.
• Prevention
• While mouth ulcers cannot be completely avoided,
  there are measures you may take to lower your
  risk for the same, which include
• For maximum oral health, brush your teeth twice
  daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss
  once daily. Consume a nutritious diet rich in
  fresh fruits and vegetables.
