Get proper diagnosis: Great question. I posit your treatment is easy but without proper exam i don't want to assume. Please see your dentist to get proper answer.

Dental appt: Some tooth pastes such as the tartar control and whitening can cause ulcers. Try no toothpaste for a while to see if it has an effect. Go through your medications with a pharmacist to see if one of them has that as a side effect. Avoid foods making them painful.
