Mouth ulcers also known as canker sores or aphthous ulcers they can be surprisingly painful
but the good news is I'm going to teach you how to treat it
mouth ulcers have painful sores inside the mouth
they're usually red or yellow leaving a crater where pain sensors are more
exposed now if you're unsure that you've got a mouth ulcer I've left some great
links in the description below which have loads of pictures and descriptions
which will help you now some of the causes include oral trauma,
hormone changes, iron deficiencies, vitamin deficiencies and even genetic
factors now I'll leave the full list in the description below as well as when
you should seek medical attention I'd recommend everyone to read this now
the good news is that most mouth ulcers heal by themselves within 10 to 14 days
but I know they can be super uncomfortable so if you want to try
something to help get rid of the pain here's treatments and preventions so
treatment number one steroid lozenges these are quite effective at relieving
the pain and they may also make the mouth ulcer heal quicker
treatment two chlorhexidine mouthwash now this isn't effective at helping to
relieve the pain however it can help the mouth ulcer recover quicker and also
prevent it from becoming infected now it is important to remember that if you're
using chlorhexidine mouthwash regularly it can stain the teeth brown but it's not
usually permanent and there are ways that you can reduce the risk of this I'll
leave more information about this in the description below now my top tip whether
you do use chlorhexidine mouthwash or steroid lozenges whichever remember to
use it as soon as you start to feel the mouth also developing that way it has
the best chance of preventing it from developing fully and also speeds up
recovery time now the next treatments don't really prevent the mouth ulcer from
fully forming instead they're more useful for pain relief so these include
soothing protective pastes, paracetamol, ibuprofen, numbing sprays and mouth
washes which include benzydamine and also saltwater mouthwashes now
I'll leave more information in the description below on how to prepare
this and as always with all medication always read the information leaflet and
speak to your pharmacist to make sure that you're suitable to use it now apart from
treatments did you know that there are there are various
things that you can actually avoid which cause mouth ulcers so for example don't
bite the inside of your cheeks and speak to your dentist about badly
fitting braces, badly fitting dentures, rough fillings and sharp teeth and other
things you can do are brushing your teeth gently using a soft bristled
toothbrush, avoid irritating toothpastes and also try to stress less if you can
now I'll leave some really useful links in the description below which teach you
techniques on how to do this if you want read it and also try to get more sleep 7
to 8 hours per night some medication can also cause mouth ulcers so if you think
it may be the cause then speak to your pharmacist and they can check this for
you and that's the end of this week's video I really hope you found this
information useful and I've also left more information in the description
