Accepted Answer

Mouth ulcers: What was the diagnosis??  That's the important question. The cause will determine the treatment. Was the "doctor" a physician or dentist?  What you mentioned regarding medicines are fine, but will they cure or prevent the ulcers? That's a question we cannot determine over the internet without examining you and knowing your medical and dental history.

Proper dental care: simple - brush your teeth, floss and use antiseptic mouth wash at least twice a day.  Floss and brushing are more important than mouth wash

Accepted Answer

&gt;700 varieties: S. Mutants is the most common harmful bacteria.  See:  http://www.colgate.com/en/us/oc/oral-health/basics/mouth-and-teeth-anatomy/article/oral-bacteria-what-lives-in-your-mouth-0513

Question 10

how is it possible that the mouth carries the most bacteria of any other place in the body?

Accepted Answer

Mouth microbes: The gingival crypts -- areas that hold the teeth can be teeming with microorganisms. You'll recognize this ecological niche every time you floss- that's what we call a biofilm - a complex community of germs living together.  It's a great environment to live in -- free food, heat, 'water', lots of space...That's why morning breath stinks -nothing 'thrown' at the bacteria all night so they propagate
