Canker Sore Symptoms
Canker sores, also called aphthous ulcers, are small, shallow lesions that develop on the soft tissues in your mouth or at the base of your gums leading to gingival irritation. Considered to be a type of mouth ulcer, they can be painful and make eating and talking uncomfortable.
Symptoms of canker sores include a tingling or burning sensation in the mouth, followed by the appearance of round, white or gray sores with a red border. Other signs may include fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a general feeling of being unwell.
Canker Sore Causes
The exact cause of canker sores is unknown, but they may be triggered by various factors such as emotional stress, lack of quality sleep, minor injury to the mouth, acidic or spicy foods, chocolate, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal shifts and menstruation,, or gastrointestinal tract diseases like celiac or Crohn’s disease.
In addition, using certain toothpastes containing sodium lauryl sulfate has been associated with onset of these mouth sores.
Prescription Medication
Traditional treatments for canker sores may also include prescription medications. A mouth sores gel, oral medications and mouth rinses containing benzocaine, hydrogen peroxide, or fluocinonide can provide pain relief and can be an effective mouth ulcer treatment.
Oral medications such as colchicine, dapsone, and thalidomide may be prescribed for severe or recurring canker sores as they also have anti-inflammatory properties.
Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline or doxycycline can be prescribed for severe episodes and can promote immediate pain relief and canker sore relief.
Recommendations for further canker sore treatments when necessary
While these traditional options can offer some relief, they often require multiple applications and may not address the underlying causes of canker sores. Patients may need to visit a doctor or dentist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient.
