How to heal mouth ulcers

Mouth ulcers are wounds that appear inside the oral cavity, usually on the lips and cheeks, and are also known as canker sores. Do you know what causes them? We explain this and how to heal mouth ulcers in today's post. Keep reading!

Mouth ulcers or canker sores are rather annoying lesions that appear inside the mouth, causing pain, burning, a tingling sensation and, in some cases, even fever.

But do not panic. Although they bother us for a couple of days, mouth ulcers are not contagious, tend to disappear easily and are not usually a serious problem.

Causes of mouth ulcers

There are several causes behind the appearance of canker sores or mouth ulcers, such as:

• Mouth injuries: bites, rubbing from dentures or orthodontics are some of the causes of these ulcers. Those who wear or have worn braces will know what we mean.
• Bacterial infection
• Nutritional deficiencies: a lack of vitamins, iron and other minerals can weaken the immune system and prevent it from protecting the body properly. This is why these ulcers may appear in response to a lack of nutrients.
• Stress: anxiety, nerves or a very busy lifestyle can also weaken the immune system which, as mentioned, can lead to the appearance of mouth ulcers or canker sores.

Oddent Oral Gel Junior 15 ml

And for little ones? Oddent Oral Gel Junior. It is also formulated with hyaluronic acid to soothe discomfort and repair the damaged area.

Oddent Oral Gel Baby 20 ml

In this case, the product is more geared towards babies at an early age who usually present symptoms of a small mouth ulcer.

We all know that at very young ages, little ones tend to put all kinds of objects in their mouths. This is one of the main problems that causes the appearance of canker sores or ulcers on the lip, mouth or even tongue.

Its application is practically the same as that of Oddent Oral Gel Junior. In this case, the gel forms a protective layer over the teeth and gums, preventing mouth ulcers from affecting oral health during the appearance of their first teeth and the teething process.
