Most mouth ulcers resolve themselves in less than a week. Only the most severe and stubborn cases where there are multiple lesions and extreme pain may call for more vigorous action. Normally various home remedies for mouth ulcer treatment will suffice.

Mouth ulcers are an indication of a run down condition and are best treated by improving the overall general health. They commonly occur after a course of antibiotics or recovering from influenza. Orthodox medicine puts them down to viruses - but I doubt this. They almost certainly are a form of allergy or sensitivity.

Mouth ulcers can be caused by a wide range of factors including:

* Accidental biting of the cheek.
* Injury from a toothbrush (such as slipping while brushing).
* Constant rubbing against misaligned or sharp teeth.
* Constant rubbing against dentures or braces.
* Poor oral hygiene.

Symptoms of Mouth Ulcer

# For mouth ulcer treatment apply hydrogen peroxide (1 part hydrogen peroxide and one part water with a cotton swab) on the canker sore

# Rinse mouth and especially the affected area with sage tea 3 times a day. The improvement can be seen within 24 hours.
