Get a dental eval.: Canker sores, also called aphthous ulcers, are small, shallow lesions that develop on the soft tissues in your mouth or at the base of your gums. Sometimes topical steroids are prescribed in extreme cases but they usually run their course in a week or two. The best strategy is to not irritate them.
