Thanks for using Health care Magic.

Read your query.

Recurrent mouth ulcers /apthous ulcers cannot be completely ,they can only be stopped and prevented when they develop.

If I were the treating dentist ,I would advice taking a few precautions which can help relieve the symptoms

*For the ulcers you can apply dentogel/mucopain Or any oral topical anesthetic agents two or three times till the symptoms reduce.

* Stress free life can also reduce the intensity of recurrence.

*Do antiseptic mouth wash gargling. Avoid spicy or too much hot food .

*Take Multivitamins and have a nutritious diet including egg. Increase Vitamins in food.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
