Health Tips
vitamin B12 capsules & topical application of ulcer soothing gels may be helpful depending on the severity of ulcers.
Hectic lifestyle: a stressed, adrenaline fuelled lifestyle which includes a lack of sleep, inadequate diet and emotional pressure can lead to recurring mouth ulcers. Persistent mouth ulcers are a reaction by your bodyâs immune system to stress and/or anxiety. It is a sign that your body is under pressure and is not functioning as per normal.
Hormonal changes: this is more of an issue for women who are subject to fluctuations in their monthly cycle. These changes are more evident during menstruation, pregnancy or just after the menopause. This is why mouth ulcers are more common in women than in men.
Disease or illness: there are medical conditions which can compromise your immune system or cause an inflammation within the body which includes the mouth. If you suffer from Crohnâs disease or any other type of inflammatory bowel complaint then you may find that you are prone to recurring mouth ulcers. Crohnâs disease is an inflammation of the digestive tract, in particular the small intestine which causes inflammation, swelling and weight loss.
Mouth injury: if you brush your teeth with excessive force or have a habit of accidentally biting the inside of your cheek then this leads to recurring ulcers.
Side effect of medication: if you are taking certain types of medication then these can cause persistent mouth ulcers. This includes beta blockers for angina or high blood pressure and anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen. This doesnât happen to every person who takes this medication and if it does, it tends to be a temporary side effect. If you do find that you are developing mouth ulcers then have a word with your GP. Do not stop taking the medication unless advised to do so.
Unhealthy diet: what we eat has a noticeable effect on our health. If you are not getting enough essential vitamins in your diet or are eating certain types of foods which cause mouth ulcers then have a careful look at your diet. A junk food diet which includes excessive amounts of fat and sugar can cause recurring mouth ulcers.
Genetics: you cannot change your genes or a family pre-disposition to mouth ulcers. If your parents are prone to persistent mouth ulcers then you will have inherited this tendency.
Next Steps
If you have persistent mouth ulcers or ulcers which have worsened or refuse to disappear then seek medical advice. This means speaking to either your GP or your dentist to determine the underlying cause.
