What is stomatitis?

Inflammation of the mouth surface causes ulcers. Various factors can cause this, such as vitamin deficiencies, medications, and autoimmunity (the body's immune system attacking itself). Often, no clear cause is found, and the ulcers heal on their own.

Symptoms of stomatitis

  • Spots in mouth

  • Mouth ulcer

  • Mouth pain

  • Burning sensation in mouth

  • Bad breath

Questions your doctor may ask to check for stomatitis

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 for stomatitis

Treatment depends on the cause. Supplements can help with vitamin deficiencies, while immune-suppressing drugs help with autoimmune conditions. Symptom relief is also possible with numbing gels and oral painkillers.
