It is normal: It can happen any time. Canker sores are the most common oral lesions. the cause is unknown. Topical medications OTC applied directly, mouthwashes, and oral medications can relieve pain or inflammation. Rec.: if not comfortable see a dentist for soft tissue laser treatment.

Canker sores: Can happen any time. Sometimes associated with stress, as when your hormonal balance changes. There are OTC's that can sooth as they heal, or your Dentist may have in-office treatment aids for you.
