Canker sores are little ulcerations on the inside of your mouth or on your gums. They’re not serious or harmful, but they can be quite uncomfortable and make eating a bit of a challenge.Most canker sores will go away in about a week without any treatment
Possible causes include:
Minor oral injury: From dental work, hard brushing, sports accidents, or accidental cheek bites.
Food sensitivity: Acidic and spicy foods, including citrus and tomatoes, can trigger or worsen canker sores.
Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of vitamin B-12, zinc, folate (folic acid), or iron.
Dental products: Toothpastes and mouth rinses containing sodium lauryl sulfate.
Stress or hormonal changes: Often related to menstrual cycles or emotional stress.
Certain medical conditions: Celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, and HIV/AIDS, which involve immune system dysfunction, may cause a higher occurrence of canker sores.
