Brief Answer:
Look for sharp tooth edges and nutritional deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If you have sharp tooth edges you should see a dentist. Otherwise nutritional deficiency along with stress are common causes. You can use DENTOGEL cream apply before food on the ulcer and have food. Eat non spicy and bland diet.

If these ulcers are recurrent please see a GP for complete evaluation.

Thank you.
