There are many things sent to test you when you are growing up in central Leeds, especially in your mouth and as if you haven’t enough to deal with already, fighting decay, having fillings and wearing braces, along comes a canker sore. These are a derivative of a mouth ulcer but still as painful, and they have a habit of re-offending a couple of times a year. Stress and diet are considered to be among a few reasons as to why people suffer from them, though they can erupt if the gums are scratched in some way. If one erupts there is not a lot you can do about it; you can brush and floss more in order to remove food deposits, rinse with salt water and there are some gels available that help sooth the sores. They tend to be very, very irritating and stinging in their pain, but they will go away after a couple of days. However, if they are still with you after a few weeks, even start to spread, you must get help from your doctor or dentist as it could indicate something more sinister at work.
