Canker sores: The cause of canker sores is unclear. It may be an autoimmune response, especially in the presence of stress and local irritation. Do you have any specific allergies or sensitivities? Try to eliminate these sources- acidic and spicy foods? Sls in some toothpastes? Certain mouthwashes? Food allergies? Speak to your md and dds for some one on one evaluation and advice.
