Mouth ulcers, often called canker sores, are a common condition. While usually harmless, they can make eating, drinking, and speaking uncomfortable.
This guide covers common causes, simple ways to manage them, and how to reduce irritation.
Understanding the cause can help you manage them more effectively.
Minor Ulcers
Small, round sores inside the mouth. Common and non-contagious, often linked to stress, certain foods, or minor irritation.
Injury-Related Ulcers
Caused by biting the cheek, brushing too hard, or dental appliances. These usually settle once the source of irritation is removed.
Health-Related Ulcers
Recurring ulcers may be linked to underlying conditions such as nutrient deficiencies or immune-related issues.
Mouth ulcers can be triggered by a range of factors:
Diet
Spicy or acidic foods can irritate the mouth and trigger ulcers.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Low levels of vitamin B12, iron, or folic acid can affect oral health.
Stress and Hormones

Simple changes can help reduce irritation while the ulcer heals:
Avoid Trigger Foods
Limit spicy, acidic, or rough foods that may worsen the area.
Support Your Diet
Eat a balanced diet rich in essential vitamins and nutrients.
