There is No Need to Prolong the Pain….Let us Heal your Canker Sores in Seconds!
Do you recall noticing a painful open sore with a red border and a white or yellowish
center developing in your mouth? Have you ever felt a tingling or burning
sensation inside you mouth or lips? It is most likely by now that you know we are
talking about
Canker sores or oral ulcers. Our dentist in
Burbank
has the perfect solution for these uncomfortable sores!
Why do canker sores appear?
Even though the exact cause of canker sores is unknown, their appearances
have been correlated with the excessive consumption of citric fruits (oranges and
lemons), sudden weight loss, stress, physical trauma (tooth brush abrasion or accidental
biting) and low levels of vitamin B12, folic acid and iron.
How long do they last?
If is it a minor oral ulcer, with a size of 3 mm to 10 mm, it will
go away in about one week. A major canker sore, which is greater
than 10 mm and is extremely painful, will last for about two weeks. However, the
worst kind of canker
sore, called herpetiform ulcerations, is characterized
by multiple 1 to 3 mm lesions that form clumps and may take around a month to heal.
