Mouth ulcers are painful lesions that form on the soft tissues of the mouth, such as the gums, the tongue, and the inner cheek area. You can prevent the development of this dental problem with the following steps.
Brush your teeth gently
Using a vigorous tooth brushing technique can lead to accidental bruising inside the mouth. The bruises can become infected and develop into mouth ulcers.
Use a toothbrush with soft bristles
Hard bristles can injure gums, and may contribute to the development of mouth sores.
Avoid heavy consumption of spicy food items
Spicy food items can irritate the inner lining of your mouth, and may trigger mouth sores to form.
Avoid consuming too much of acidic food and drinks
Food and drinks with high acidity can irritate your mouth, the same way that spicy food items can.
