Inflammation of the mouth surface produces ulcers. The causes are varied, including vitamin deficiencies, medications, and autoimmunity (body's own immune system attacking itself). Often, no clear cause is found and the ulcers heal by themselves.
Spots in mouth
Mouth ulcer
Mouth pain
Burning sensation in mouth
Bad breath
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose stomatitis
Do you have spots or boils in your mouth?
Do you have sores or erosions in your mouth?
Do you have pain inside your mouth?
Do you have burning pain inside of your mouth?
Do you feel that you have bad breath?
Treatment depends on the cause. Supplements may help with vitamin deficiencies, while immune-suppressing drugs help with autoimmune conditions. Symptom relief is also possible with numbing gels and oral painkillers.
