you need a wee trip to the dentist

also invest in a wonderful mouthwash hope this helps

go to your dentist or maybe your GP could give you something if your not keen on the dentist.. it maynot be linked to dental troubles it could be a mouth infection of some kind so perhaps best to observe your GP

I have no idea if it may be the same for you, but i had this a couple of years ago. i had about 15 all round my gums at once. I had been eating many of lemon cheesecake yogurts , you know the ones from Muller( the muller light cheesecake flavour). I halted eating them and never had another ulcer since. Some acidy foods may cause them.

Ask your doctor for chlorhexedine gluconate mouthwash and that will fix it.

Do you have any metallic fillings?



These can also be caused by undiagnosed food allergies or intolerances.

The the bulk common type of mouth ulcers are called 'apthous' ulcers. They are perhaps viral. (though no virus has been identified.)This means patients should not be given antibiotics as there have no effect. There behaviour is similar to cold sores, in that they are recurrent, come out when we are sprint down and we never seem to develop immunity. Here the similarity ends, because unlike herpetic cold sores there is no treatment. In your case local glands are swelling up as your body tries to deal with the virus.



Each ulcer lasts about 10 days, but you could get further crops erupting, so each episode may last longer than that. There are unfortunately no preventatives.



Ice,ice cream and cold soft items, become the easiest things to eat. Teething gels sometimes help. There are 2 prescription drugs for apthous ulcers, Corlan Pellets and Adcortyl in Orobase paste. Both are steroids, only alleviate the nipping a bit and neither hastens resolution. Which means unfortunately there is little in the technique of treatments that aid much either.
