Have you changed your toothpaste recently? If so then there might be a pH change. Upon change in toothpaste there may be some components in the toothpaste which might trigger ulceration. Stop the use of toothpaste at the moment to notice if it triggers ulceration or not. Supplement yourself with becosules Z, apply mucopain gel before eating or drinking. Take proper 8 hours sleep.
