CANKER SORES:
Canker Sores (Mouth ulcers) are common and should clear up on their own within a week or 2. But see a GP or dentist if you have a mouth ulcer that lasts longer than 3 weeks.

Canker sores are rarely a sign of anything serious, but may be uncomfortable to live with.
They need time to heal and there's no quick fix.
Avoiding things that irritate your mouth ulcer should help:
- Speed up the healing process
- Reduce pain
- Reduce the chance of it returning
Do
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Drink cool drinks through a straw
- Eat softer foods

- Do not eat very spicy, salty or acidic food
- Do not eat rough, crunchy food, such as toast or crisps
- Do not drink very hot or acidic drinks, such as fruit juice
- Do not use chewing gum
- Do not use toothpaste containing sodium lauryl sulphate
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION:
Seek medical advice if your Canker Sore,
- Lasts longer than 3 weeks
- Keeps coming back
- Grows bigger than usual or is near the back of your throat

Although most mouth ulcers are harmless, a long-lasting mouth ulcer is sometimes a sign of mouth cancer. It's best to get it checked.
