What Causes Mouth Ulcers (Canker Sores)

Mouth ulcers, also known as aphthous stomatitis, or canker sores, is a common, ulcerative inflammatory condition of the oral cavity, that typically starts in childhood or adolescence.
Most of these ulcers usually resolve without any medical intervention.
However, recurrent ulceration will cause persistent pain and discomfort, which will impair the quality of life.
So, in this video we are going to look at some common causes of mouth ulcers.
Although the exact cause of mouth ulcers is not clearly understood, several factors have found to increase their incidence.
Psychological stress is one of those factors.
This can be explained by the frequent occurrence of mouth ulcers during exam times.
Trauma is another cause for mouth ulcers. Biting of the mucosa, and wearing dental appliances such as braces can damage oral mucosa and cause ulcers.
Cessation of smoking has also been associated with precipitation or exacerbation of mouth ulcers. Hormonal changes in women also increase the risk of mouth ulcers. This is due to the high progesterone levels during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. And, these ulcers will temporarily regress during pregnancy.
Sensitivity to certain foods, including acidic foods such as strawberries, citrus fruits, and pineapples, tomatoes, mushrooms, and coffee, will also increase the occurrence of mouth ulcers.
Hematinic deficiencies, such as iron deficiency, folate, and vitamin B12 deficiency, will also increase the risk of mouth ulcers.
Other causes include, malabsorption in gastro intestinal disorders such as celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, pernicious anemia, and dermatitis herpetiformis.
Immune deficiencies, including immunosuppressive therapy, HIV AIDS, and neutropenia.
Certain medications, including non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, alendronate, nicorandil, and anti viral agents such as acyclovir. Using toothpastes and mouth wash containing sodium lauryl sulphate.
And finally, certain infections, including hand foot and mouth disease.

I tried to use warm salt water technique to heal mouth ulcer too but i think it got more painful (hopefully it would heal faster or at the very least not make it worse🥲)

That didn't narrow it down...

Have had this issue since I was a young kid, far back as I can recall. Sometimes it's one, or up to 3, it happens a lot.. one doctor I talked with thought it was a kind of result from some prior viruses like chicken pox, or mono, or something.. of course nothing could be confirmed on my end or what he was saying.. but he said some anti virus medicine he's noticed has helped..

But this video .. didn't narrow it down for me
