Best Dental Clinic for Mouth Ulcer Treatment – Ivory Dental Clinic
If you’ve ever had a mouth ulcer, you know how something so small can create such a big problem. Eating, drinking, or even talking feels uncomfortable, and in some cases, the pain is unbearable.
For many people, ulcers come and go on their own. However, when they persist, last longer than two weeks, or become unusually painful, it’s a sign that you need to see a dentist. Ignoring them can sometimes lead to more serious oral conditions.
At Ivory Dental Clinic, Nerul–Seawoods, under the leadership of Dr Vishwas Madan (Gold Medalist Implantologist & Periodontist), we provide advanced, painless, and customised treatments for all types of mouth ulcers, from the most common ones to conditions like Oral Lichen Planus and Oral Leukoplakia.
Why Do Mouth Ulcers Happen?
Ulcers can develop for several reasons, and understanding the cause is crucial for selecting the most effective treatment.
Some common triggers include:
- Stress, anxiety, and lack of rest
- Vitamin deficiencies (B12, folic acid, iron)
- Trauma from sharp teeth, braces, or dentures
- Spicy or acidic foods
- Allergic reactions (to toothpaste, certain foods)
- Hormonal changes
- Underlying conditions like Oral Lichen Planus, Oral Leukoplakia, or even early signs of Oral Cancer
When to Worry About Mouth Ulcers
Not every ulcer needs professional treatment. However, you should see a dentist if your ulcers are:
- Lasting more than 2 weeks
- Extremely painful or spreading
- Accompanied by a burning sensation while eating
- Recurring multiple times in a year
- Appearing as white or red patches that don’t heal
These symptoms may need further tests, such as a biopsy, to rule out a serious oral health condition.
