What Are Mouth Ulcers?
Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small, painful sores that develop on the soft tissues inside the mouth. They can appear on the inside of the cheeks, lips, tongue, or the roof and floor of the mouth. Mouth ulcers can vary in size and may be:
- Aphthous Ulcers: The most common type of mouth ulcer, often triggered by stress, certain foods, or vitamin deficiencies.
- Herpetic Ulcers: Caused by the herpes simplex virus, these ulcers are usually more severe and may recur periodically.
- Traumatic Ulcers: Resulting from injury to the mouth, such as from braces, dentures, or accidental biting.
- Behçet’s Ulcers: Associated with Behçet’s disease, characterized by recurring mouth ulcers along with other symptoms.
Causes of Mouth Ulcers
Mouth ulcers can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B12, folic acid, and iron.
- Stress: Emotional or physical stress can trigger the development of mouth ulcers.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly in women, can contribute to ulcer formation.
- Injury or Irritation: Trauma to the mouth from dental work, braces, or accidental bites.
- Food Sensitivities: Sensitivity to certain foods, such as citrus fruits or spicy foods.
- Underlying Health Conditions: Conditions such as Crohn’s disease or celiac disease can lead to recurrent mouth ulcers.
