What Is The Treatment For Ulcer On The Front Gum Line?

Hi, Im 26, five feet tall, and around 150 lbs. I have a small ulcer on my front gum line. I have them rarely but do get them. I was told before it was becasue of citrus acid. I did introduce fresh orange juice into my diet this week so could this be the cause? And how do I treat this ulcer?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the ulcer over the gum line could be a traumatic ulcer by tooth brush injury or it can be herpetic ulcer. nothing to worry apply topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel 3-4times daily for 5 days. if the ulcer does not heal in 5 days consult a oral physician to rule out the ulcer from other lesions. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
