Having Painful Sensations? It Might Be Canker Sores (Mouth Ulcer)

Mouth ulcers can be caused by a variety of factors. The following are some of the most common causes that have been linked to their development:

• Oral trauma and inflammation are two of the most common causes of mouth ulcers. Trauma and discomfort can be caused by rough brushing, biting hard foods, oral injury, ill-fitting braces, and damaged or sharp teeth. Some people experience sensitivity from toothpaste containing sodium lauryl sulfate, which can lead to ulcers.
• For our bodies to function properly, we all require specific nutrients. Mouth ulcers can be caused by a lack of vitamin B12, iron, or folic acid. If you have recurrent ulcers due to nutritional inadequacies, your doctor may prescribe a supplement or suggest a different diet.
• It may come as a surprise, but quitting smoking causes frequent mouth ulcers. This, however, is a temporary issue that will be remedied in six weeks. So, if you’re trying to quit smoking, you can have regular mouth ulcers for a few weeks. However, the long-term benefits of quitting smoking much surpass the annoyance of ulcers.
• Your mental well-being has an impact on your physical well-being. When you’re anxious, your body produces hormones that put you at risk for mouth ulcers.
•  Ulcers, as previously said, can be a symptom of underlying issues. Coeliac disease, Crohn’s disease, reactive arthritis, and a reduced immune system all induce ulcers as one of their symptoms. Canker sores will continue to form and create agony unless the underlying problem is addressed.
