Mouth ulcers are painful lesions that form on the mucous lining of the mouth, including the cheeks, gums, tongue, and lips. They are sometimes referred to as canker sores or aphthous ulcers. Usually round or oval in shape, these ulcers have a crimson border around a white or yellowish centre. Despite not being communicable, they can be extremely uncomfortable, particularly when eating, talking, or brushing your teeth. Although the precise aetiology of mouth ulcers is unknown, it is thought that a number of factors, including stress, oral trauma, hormonal shifts, particular foods, and nutritional deficiencies, have a role in their development. The majority of mouth ulcers go away on their own in one to two weeks, however severe or recurring situations may need medical care to control symptoms and stop them from happening again. Managing these frequent oral disorders requires an understanding of the underlying causes and available treatments.
