CANKER SORES Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), commonly known as canker sores, is a condition where people get small, painful ulcers in their mouth repeatedly. Here’s a simple explanation: What it looks like: Small, round or oval sores inside the mouth that hurt, usually with a red edge and a white or yellow center.They can appear inside the lips, cheeks, or under the tongue. Why it happens: The exact reason isn’t known, but stress, minor injuries (like biting your cheek), certain foods (like spicy or acidic foods), and vitamin deficiencies might trigger them. Some people might be more likely to get them because of their genetics. Treatment: 1. Over-the-counter treatments like mouth rinses, gels, and pastes can help relieve pain and speed up healing. 2. For more severe sores, a doctor or a dentist might prescribe stronger medication. 3. Pain relief can also come from using topical anesthetics.
