A member asked:
I went to the dentist 2 days ago, can a dental procedure cause canker sore?
7 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Possible: Canker sores can be caused by any nick or break in the mucosa. The dentists use sharp instruments and it is possible to nick the mucosa during treatment.

Yes: The canker sores or ulcerated lesions can be related to the dental treatment itself as well as stress induced.

Sort of: Stress and local irritation are though to be possible cause of canker sites. This is a common occurrence although it could also be incidental.
