Ulcerative Stomatitis treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Ulcerative stomatitis is an inflammation of the lining of the mouth accompanied by painful ulcers or sores on the gums, tongue, lips, or inside of the cheeks. It can appear in isolation or recur in episodes.

Which specialist treats it? The dentist assesses the health of the mouth and lesions of the lining; in persistent cases, the oral pathologist or maxillofacial surgeon may step in, and the general practitioner guides the first visit.

Common causes: rubbing or bites, infections, nutritional deficiencies, stress, or reactions to certain foods.

When to seek care? If the sores are very painful, do not heal within a reasonable time, or recur frequently, it is a good idea to have a professional review them to identify the cause and care for your oral health.
