Certain bacterial infections, such as syphilis, can also result in ulceration in the mouth.
Deficiency Ulcers

F.A.Q
Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are painful sores that can appear in the oral cavity. They vary in size and location and can cause discomfort while eating, drinking, or speaking.
Mouth ulcers can be caused by several factors, including:
- Aphthous ulcers (immune response irregularities)
- Traumatic ulcers (injuries from burns, ill-fitting dentures)
- Viral infections (herpes simplex, varicella-zoster)
- Fungal infections (candidiasis, mucormycosis)
- Bacterial infections (e.g., syphilis)
- Nutritional deficiencies (vitamins or metabolic disorders)
- Oral manifestations of skin diseases (pemphigus, lichen planus)
- Cancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiation)
- Oral cancer
If your mouth ulcer is persistent, non-healing, or recurrent, it could be a sign of an underlying issue such as an infection, nutritional deficiency, or, in rare cases, oral cancer. A dental professional should evaluate any persistent ulcer.
At CandidSmiles, our treatment focuses on identifying the cause of your ulcers. We may recommend topical medications, dietary changes, pain management strategies, or further tests to ensure comprehensive care.
If your mouth ulcer lasts longer than two weeks, is particularly painful, or you have recurring sores, it’s important to consult a dentist for an evaluation and treatment plan.
While most mouth ulcers are benign, persistent or unusual ulcers could be a symptom of oral cancer. It’s crucial to have a dentist evaluate any suspicious or long-lasting sores.
