Mouth ulcers - What are they
Mouth ulcers are painful round or oval sores or sore spots that form in your mouth; often on the inside of the cheeks and lips. They can also appear on the floor of your mouth and on the underside of your tongue.
Mouth ulcers can be uncomfortable, especially when you eat, drink or brush your teeth, but they are not infectious and you cannot pass them from one person to another.
Mouth ulcers are common and should clear up on their own within a week or two. They’re not usually a sign of anything more serious, but you should see your GP if they last longer than 3 weeks.
Mouth ulcers- WHAT ARE THE MAIN CAUSES?
There are lots of things that can cause mouth ulcers, but they usually are due to you damaging your mouth, for example when you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek, brush your teeth too hard, or catch your cheek or lip on a sharp tooth or filling. They can also develop because you wear braces or dentures.
You can get mouth ulcers that keep coming back, mainly at times when you’re particularly stressed, anxious or ‘run down’. Some women can also develop them during hormonal changes such as pregnancy or their monthly period.
Your diet can play part too and there are certain foods that may increase the likelihood of you getting a mouth ulcer.
These include:
- Chocolate
- Spicy foods
- Coffee
- Peanuts
- Almonds
- Strawberries
- Cheese
- Tomatoes
- Wheat flour
Stopping smoking may mean that you temporarily develop mouth ulcers, which is a normal reaction while your body is coping with chemical changes.
Sometimes, mouth ulcers keep coming back due to a lack of vitamin B12 or iron, a medical condition such as Coeliac or Crohn’s disease. They can also be caused by a reaction to a medicine that you are taking, including some NSAIDs, nicorandil (for angina), and beta-blockers (for conditions such as angina and high blood pressure).
TOP TIPS
- Clean your teeth properly and visit your dentist regularly.
- If you can tell what’s causing your mouth ulcer, such as a sharp tooth or filling, visit your dentist so that they can repair it.
- Use a softer toothbrush and try switching to another toothpaste.
- Try to relieve your stress and anxiety by doing an activity that you find relaxing, such as meditating, practising yoga or other exercise.
- Eat a balanced diet with fresh fruit and vegetables, and avoid 'scratchy foods' such as toast, crisps and nuts.
- Don’t eat foods that you know can trigger your mouth ulcers.
- Talk to your GP about any medication that might be causing your mouth ulcers, as you may be able to take an alternative.
