1. Minor Ulcers: Small, round ulcers that typically heal within a week or two without causing severe discomfort.
2. Major Ulcers: Larger and deeper ulcers that take longer to heal and may leave scars.
3. Herpetiform Ulcers: Tiny ulcers that appear in clusters and cause more discomfort than minor ulcers.
While most mouth ulcers heal naturally, treatment may be necessary if:
1. The ulcers are unusually large or persist for more than two weeks.
2. You experience recurring ulcers that make it difficult to eat, drink, or speak.
3. The pain is severe, and home remedies aren’t providing relief.
4. The ulcers are accompanied by other symptoms like fever, swelling, or difficulty swallowing.
5. You have underlying health issues that may be contributing to chronic mouth ulcers.
If any of these signs sound familiar, it’s time to seek professional treatment.
Several factors can lead to the development of mouth ulcers, including:
Accidental Biting or Injury: Accidentally biting the inside of your mouth, aggressive brushing, or eating rough, abrasive foods can cause ulcers.
Stress: Emotional or physical stress is a common trigger for mouth ulcers.
Diet: Spicy, acidic, or salty foods may irritate the mouth and lead to ulcers.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients, such as vitamin B12, iron, or folate, can contribute to the formation of mouth ulcers.
Medical Conditions: Conditions like Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or autoimmune disorders can cause recurring ulcers.
