Canker sores are small, shallow ulcers that appear in your mouth and make it difficult for you to eat and talk. The exact cause of canker sores isn’t known but stress and foods that are high in citrus and are acidic are known triggers of canker sores.
Some symptoms that you may have a canker sore include pain on your tongue or the inside of your cheeks and if you feel a burning sensation. Canker sores are circular and are usually white or gray with a red edge.
Foods that are known to cause canker sores include lemons, oranges, apples, and tomatoes. At Miami Dental we encourage our patients with canker sores to avoid these foods.
If you do get a canker sore, the best way to treat them is to rinse your mouth out with hot salt water a couple times a couple of times a day to help with recovery. If you still have a canker sore after 1-2 weeks we advise you to make an appointment with us.
