How to Handle Ulcers or Canker Sores in Kids by Smiles and Hearts Clinic Gurgaon

Canker sores, also known as mouth ulcers, can be painful and uncomfortable for kids. While they usually heal on their own, here’s how you can help ease the discomfort and promote faster healing:

πŸ” Common Causes of Canker Sores:

Injury: Biting the inside of the cheek or sharp-edged foods.
Stress: Emotional stress can sometimes trigger sores.
Nutritional Deficiency: Lack of iron, zinc, or Vitamin B12.
Allergic Reactions: Sensitivity to certain foods like citrus fruits.
🌟 At-Home Care Tips:
1️⃣ Rinse with a mild saltwater solution to reduce inflammation. 🌊
2️⃣ Apply an over-the-counter oral gel to ease pain and speed healing. πŸ’Š
3️⃣ Avoid spicy, acidic, or crunchy foods that may irritate the sore. 🚫🌢️
4️⃣ Keep your child hydrated and encourage soft, soothing foods like yogurt or smoothies. πŸ₯€

πŸ’‘ When to Visit a Dentist:
If ulcers last more than two weeks, become unusually large, or are accompanied by fever or severe pain, consult a pediatric dentist immediately.
