Mouth ulcers concerns
Mouth ulcers are painful sores that appear in the mouth, usually on the soft tissue - cheeks, lips or tongue. They can be white, red, yellow or grey in colour and swollen.
Although they're uncomfortable, mouth ulcers are usually harmless and clear up by themselves within a week or two.
In many cases, the reason for mouth ulcers is unclear, but triggers are thought to include:
- Accidentally biting the inside of your cheek or a sharp tooth
- Poorly fitting dentures
- Hard food
- A defective filling
- Stress and anxiety
- Hormonal changes – some women develop mouth ulcers during their monthly period
- Eating certain foods – such as chocolate, spicy foods, coffee, peanuts, almonds, strawberries, cheese, tomatoes and wheat flour
- Toothpaste containing sodium lauryl sulphate
- Stopping smoking – when you first stop smoking, you may develop mouth ulcers
- Viral infections – including the cold sore virus, chickenpox, and hand, foot and mouth disease
- Medical conditions - including vitamin B12 or iron deficiency, Crohn's disease, coeliac disease, reactive arthritis, HIV, lupus, Behçet’s disease
- Certain medications or medical treatments may also cause mouth ulcers
It's usually safe to treat mouth ulcers at home to help reduce swelling and ease any discomfort.
Self care
Tips for easing discomfort and aid healing…
- Antimicrobial mouthwash or protective paste, available from your pharmacist
- Use a soft toothbrush to brush your teeth
- Use a toothpaste that doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulphate, as this may be irritating
- Avoid hard, spicy, salty, acidic or hot food and drink until the ulcer heals
- Use a straw to drink cool drinks
- Avoid things that may be triggering your mouth ulcers
Mouth ulcers can sometimes be a possible symptom of a more serious problem such as infection or mouth cancer. It's therefore essential that you contact Sturminster Dental Care as soon as possible if you notice:
- Your mouth ulcer has lasted three or more weeks
- You keep getting mouth ulcers
- Your mouth ulcer becomes more painful or red

I was recently introduced to Sturminster Dental Practice by a very good friend on mine John Durham, having been unhappy with the care I was receiving elsewhere. I have now had 3 visits to this practice and the care and attention has been excellent, it is not something I look forward too visiting a dentist but getting the service I have received has taken away any concerns
5th September 2024
Exceptional care
5th September 2024
I rarely if ever good full marks but this practice deserves them. The reception staff are excellent and are always helpful. The clinicians, hygienists, dentists and nurses are also exceptional and I have great confidence in what they do and say. It is nice to see the same people each time rather than a revolving door of temporary staff. Highly recommended as a practice. I should also say I have no vested interest in the practice.

Helena and Kate are just amazing!
19th May 2022
I was expecting and had requested an extraction. My dentist listened to my reasons and sympathised with my position. When she had ascertained that I was not in any serious pain , she outlined an alternative treatment plan that could rid me of my discomfort but also save my tooth. She felt strongly that this line of treatment was in my best interest as I could quite soon find myself with a two tooth, visable gap.She treated me with respect and kindness throughout the consultation and I was able to accept her advice.
19th May 2022
Kate is a wonderful dentist, very considerate in all aspects of the appointment. Listening to any issues I might raise. Always puts you at raise, very professional.

Absolutely first class dental care from an extremely courteous and professional team. A trip to the dentist isn’t exactly everyone’s ideal place to visit, but all the staff here will make you feel totally at ease, and for me, have completely taken the fear factor away from the occasion. I’ve visited a few dental surgeries over the years, and this is the best by quite some distance. Top class service from a top class team. Thank you!
