Common Causes of Tongue Ulcers

  • Aphthous Ulcers (Canker Sores): The most frequent cause of painful, recurring sores on the tongue.
  • Traumatic Ulcers: Caused by accidentally biting the tongue or irritation from a sharp tooth or dental appliance.
  • Viral Infections: Conditions like hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause multiple sores on the tongue.
  • Oral Cancer: A non-healing ulcer is a key warning sign that requires an urgent biopsy.
