Mouth ulcers are small sores on the soft tissues of the mouth that can appear on the inside of the lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums. They often cause a stinging pain, especially when eating, drinking, or talking. Mouth ulcers usually heal on their own, but the discomfort can interfere with daily activities. They can be triggered by accidental bites, friction from braces, irritation from certain foods, stress, or certain nutritional deficiencies. Not every sore in the mouth is an ordinary ulcer, so it is important to pay attention to accompanying symptoms.
What should you do?
Brush your teeth gently, avoid spicy or acidic foods if they make the pain worse, and do not touch the sore with your hands. Complete your oral hygiene routine with Minosep Extra, which contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate. Minosep can be part of an appropriate care routine.
To help keep your mouth clean, rinse with a mouthwash containing Chlorhexidine Gluconate. Mouth ulcers are associated with poor oral hygiene, so it is important to keep your mouth clean by brushing gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash. Avoid foods that are too spicy, acidic, or hot if they worsen the pain. Drink enough water and avoid touching or picking at the sore.
