Canker sores: Canker sore can be related to stress, vitamin deficiencies, trauma, sensitivity to certain foods or chemicals or autoimmune problems. Many patients are sensitive to SLS, sodium lauryl sulfate, that is in many toothpastes. Check the label and try an SLS free toothpaste. An oral medicine specialist can help you.

Canker Sores: are the most common oral lesions. Individual ulcers typically last 1-2 weeks. Try to keep adequate oral hygiene and try not to eat hot or spicy foods. If concerned, see your dentist or GP after 14 days to rule out any other pathology.
