Mucosal Ulcers (Mouth Sores)
Identifying and Managing Sores Inside the Mouth
A mouth ulcer is a loss of the delicate tissue that lines the inside of your mouth (the mucosa). While most ulcers are harmless canker sores that heal on their own, it's important to know when a sore might indicate a more serious problem.

Common Causes of Mucosal Ulcers
- Aphthous Ulcers (Canker Sores): The most frequent cause, often triggered by stress, minor injury, or certain foods.
- Traumatic Ulcers: A sharp bite to the cheek or irritation from a dental appliance can cause a traumatic ulcer.
- Viral Infections: Viruses like herpes simplex (cold sores) or coxsackievirus (hand, foot, and mouth disease) can cause multiple ulcers.
- Oral Cancer: A persistent, often painless ulcer that does not heal is a key warning sign of oral cancer.
