From Goodness Care
Plain, practical reading on what causes mouth ulcers and how to look after your mouth. Every article lists the sources behind its facts.
Mouth ulcers (canker sores) and cold sores are easy to confuse, but they have different causes, look different and need different care. Here is how to tell which one you have, and where UlcerMagic fits.
A bite, a scratch from crunchy food or a sip of something too hot can leave a painful ulcer behind. Here is how that happens, how to look after the ulcer and which signs mean it needs checking.
New braces, a loose denture or a sharp wire can rub the inside of the mouth until an ulcer forms. The usual fix is an adjustment by your dentist or orthodontist. Until then, a few simple steps can make your mouth more comfortable.
Low levels of iron, vitamin B12, folate or zinc are among the known triggers of mouth ulcers that keep coming back. Look out for the other signs that go with them, and see a doctor for a blood test before you start any vitamin or mineral tablets.
