Mouth<\/strong><\/a> sores, also known as canker sores or mouth ulcers, are a common problem<\/strong> that can affect quality of life by making it difficult to eat or talk. Although they are usually benign and disappear on their own, knowing how to cure them and relieve symptoms is key to avoiding prolonged discomfort. In our dental clinic in Malaga and Torremolinos<\/strong><\/a> we know that it is a problem that affects quite a few people, so in today\u2019s article we want to talk about it in depth.<\/p>\n

Causes and symptoms of mouth sores<\/h2>\n

Mouth sores can have a variety of causes, from small injuries caused by accidental bites to more complex health problems such as vitamin deficiencies, stress or changes in the immune system.<\/strong> These ulcers are rounded, whitish or yellow lesions surrounded by a reddish halo<\/strong>. They tend to cause pain, especially when eating acidic or hot foods.<\/p>\n

Identifying the specific cause is crucial in determining how to cure these injuries effectively. For example, if they are related to a vitamin B12 or iron deficiency, it is important to treat that deficiency as part of the healing plan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, topical gels with ingredients such as benzocaine or hyaluronic acid can provide immediate relief and speed up the healing process. Another important step is to avoid foods that irritate sores, such as spicy, acidic or salty.<\/strong> Instead, opt for soft and warm foods. It is also advisable to drink enough water to keep the mucosa hydrated, which promotes regeneration of affected tissues.<\/p>\n
