How can I prevent mouth sores?

You can take some measures to prevent the appearance of these sores.

Keeping good oral hygiene with daily brushing with a medium or soft textured toothbrush.

Keeping regular appointments with your Dentist.

Avoiding stress both physical and emotional. Ensure you get adequate rest and sleep.

Eating healthy foods especially those rich in vitamins and minerals.

Are mouth sores contagious?

Mouth sores are not contagious because they do not spread from person to person. They develop due to factors already mentioned or secondary to underlying diseases.

It is important to know that while mouth sores might seem like a trivial issue because of how frequently they happen, they could be the first and most important sign of a debilitating disease and, as such, should be taken very seriously. 

Do not hesitate to consult your dentist as soon as you notice these sores.

Why Do I Have Mouth Sores?

Mouth sores or mouth ulcers are a common problem across all age groups. They are typically harmless, and they resolve easily. You have probably had a mouth sore once, twice, or even multiple times before.

These sores can appear on the gums, inner parts of the cheeks, and lips.

They come with much discomfort and can be painful, especially while eating, drinking, brushing, or even talking.

What are the causes?

There are no specific causes, but there are several factors that can contribute to developing one.

They include:

Trauma from brushing, bites, and braces.

Poor oral hygiene.

Stress or anxiety.

Vitamin or mineral deficiency.

Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menstruation.

Reaction to medication.

Smoking.

While most ulcers or sores are harmless and heal within two weeks, persistent and non-healing ulcers are a sign of an underlying illness. It is important to be able to recognize them for quick evaluation and treatment by your dentist (you should have a dentist by now!).

 These kinds of ulcers may be due to:

Oral thrush

Viral infections

Oral Cancer

Anaemia

Oral lichen planus

How can I treat mouth sores?

To hasten the healing of mouth sores, here are a few tips:

You must ensure that you continue to brush gently with a soft or medium-textured toothbrush, taking care not to touch the ulcer.

You should avoid spicy, hot, and salty meals during this period.

Use a straw to drink liquids to avoid contact with the sore.

Eat lots of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins to boost your immune system.

A warm saline mouth bath is a very effective home remedy for a mouth sore. It is easy to do and provides quick relief.

To do this:

Add a teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water.

Hold a mouthful of this solution in your mouth over the sore till the water goes cold

Spit it out and repeat the steps multiple times a day.

Remember not to swallow this solution.

There are other medications your dentist may prescribe for you.

If a sore has not healed within a 2-week interval, you must see your dentist!

6. Take enough sleep.

Taking enough sleep is another way you can help your eyes. Sleep deprivation will have negative consequences on your eye health.

7. Minimize screen time.

Looking at the screen too often may also negatively affect your eyes. Where it becomes necessary to look at the screen because of the digital working environment we have today, make sure you observe the 20, 20,20 rule.

That is remove your eyes from the screen every 20 minutes and position your computer screen properly to minimize the effect on your eyes.

8. Go for regular eye screening.

Many serious eye problems wouldn't have been very serious if they were detected early enough. So if you visit your eye doctor regularly, he would be able to detect any minor defect on time and recommend appropriate actions that need to be taken.

9. Go for a blood sugar test if you are up to 45.

People who are up to 45 should not stop at eye check. Another factor that may put your eyes at risk is your blood sugar level. So if you are up to 45, you may also check your blood sugar level.

10. Quit smoking

Smoking is very dangerous for your health. It may also affect your vision. So if you are smoking already try to quit it. If you are not avoid it.
