Which type of doctor do i finally see for mouth canker sores?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral Surgeon or: Dentist. They can treat chairside with a laser if their office is equipped with one, they can make sure these recurring "canker sores" are actually aphthous ulcers and not any other type of ulcerative lesions, and they can also prescribe topical ointments and rinses to help reduce pain, inflammation, and duration of lesions.
