Mouth Ulcer

Mouth Ulcer Causes

In fact, Mouth ulcers are not at all contagious but are rather said to be caused by a problem with the immune system.

Mouth Ulcers can also be triggered by a number of factors such as emotional pain or stress, fatigue, physical injury to the mouth (often by biting the cheek, or from dental work), and dietary deficiencies (most commonly a lack of vitamin B12, iron and folic acid).

It is also fairly common to develop canker sores during hormonal changes such as menstruation and pregnancy and to have them co-occur with another viral or bacterial infection. While most people just develop the mouth ulcers, others may experience additional symptoms such as fatigue, swollen glands, and in rarer cases, a fever might be present.

Tips for Mouth Ulcer

1. Mouth Ulcers are vulnerable to infection by bacteria in the mouth so be sure to keep your mouth clean and fresh by gargling regularly with an antibacterial mouth wash or salt water.
2. Practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing twice daily as this will reduce the chances of developing an infection. However, be sure to brush gently so that you do not further aggravate the Mouth Ulcers.
3. Be sure to avoid hot and spicy foods as these will more than likely sting the affected areas.
4. Try sucking on ice chips or applying ice directly to affected areas for fast pain relief.
5. Add a dose of vitamin B12 to your daily supplements and make sure you are getting enough iron and folic acid.
