hello, For an ulcer, you can apply baking soda over it or do baking soda in water mouth rinses. this will help to heal the ulcer. if they still persist, you need to consult a physician and get your Vitamin B levels checked. if required take supplements for it.

As age increases one develops many nutritional deficiencies due decreased diet and digestive capacity. So to fasten healing you can start vit c (limcee) and bcomplex vitamin (nurobion forte). Also locally you can apply dologel or mucopain. If you are denture wearer get it checked for sharp edges also remove denture during night allow mucosz to relax a bit.
