So what exactly are mouth sores and what causes it?
Mouth sores are painful lesions that form in your oral soft tissues. They may appear on your lips, gums, tongue, cheeks, the floor of your mouth or even the roof of your mouth.
A mouth sore can be characterised by mouth ulcers which have a white or yellow layer with a red base (usually inside the lips, cheek or on the tongue), painful red patches, mouth blisters or swelling, or even a burning sensation.
Mouth sores are caused by ailments such as:
ill-fitting braces or dentures
viral and bacterial infections
Dry mouth
Smoking
Many symptoms of a mouth sore can be managed through self-care
