Why is there a problem?

Systemic pathologies

Ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa in adults and children can be symptoms of various diseases. Thus, one of the “culprits” of such formations is tuberculosis - soft tissues are covered with multiple mounds, which over time increase in size and turn into ulcers (they hurt, burn, react to hot and cold food).

• hyperthermia (up to 39 degrees);

Acute necrotizing gingivostomatitis – viral disease, ulcers form not only on the gums, but also on the tonsils, cheeks, and tongue. Cancer is the most serious cause of numerous mouth ulcers. When pressed, such formations do not hurt, have fuzzy thick edges, and do not heal for a long time.

• herpetiformis (the mucous membrane is abundantly strewn with painful itchy spots that are visually similar to herpes; most often the disease affects the fairer sex under the age of 30);
• fungal (on soft tissues there is a white coating, the causative agent is usually Candida fungus);
• ulcerative (one or more sores appear in the mouth, ulcers on the tongue, lips, cheeks - the result of untreated catarrhal stomatitis in a timely manner).

If the gums in the interdental space are covered with ulcers, we are talking about ulcerative gingivitis ( inflammatory process). The mouth and throat may also become ulcerated after radiation or chemotherapy. There is also such a disease as recurrent necrotizing periadenitis (Setton's aphthae) - characteristic seals form in the oral cavity, they are painful when pressed, then they form open sores, from which the infiltrate flows.

Symptoms with this form of stomatitis heal within 2 weeks, leaving no scars on the mucous membrane. General symptoms rarely bother; one or several ulcers may appear on the mucous membrane at a time.

Herpetimorphic stomatitis causes the appearance of many small itchy ulcers on the mucous membrane of the mouth, tongue, and cheeks, which do not have clearly defined boundaries and are covered with a grayish coating.

The most common cause of mouth ulcers is due to infectious diseases mucous membrane.

Herpetiform stomatitis

By appearance the sores resemble common herpes. They appear on the bottom of the mouth and on the tongue. Usually they are gray in color, without definite boundaries. They may go away within a week, but if left untreated, they will reappear.

Recurrent stomatitis

We are able to eliminate some of them on our own, but fight others without medical care both difficult and unsafe.

Stop smoking!

It is believed that frequent stomatitis is a manifestation weak immunity. However, the reason could be much more banal. For example, we can talk about poor oral hygiene and gum injury from braces and poorly fitting dentures or the edges of your own chipped teeth, as well as hard food and even a toothbrush with stiff bristles. In this case, in order to get rid of the ulcers that appear every now and then in the mouth, you just need to visit a dentist who will solve all the problems with your teeth (both your family and your “foster ones”). Then all you need to do is throw out the old one. toothbrush and buy a new one, with soft bristles, and, of course, start using it regularly. In addition, you will need to forget about crackers and chips at least for a while.

The second reason is wrong image life. Here it will be more difficult. After all, you will need to give up bad habits, which have a bad effect on the condition of the oral mucosa. These include: smoking, alcohol and coffee abuse, poor nutrition(for example, a great love for sweet, salty and hot food). The doctor may also advise increasing fluid intake to 1.5-2 liters per day and starting taking complex vitamins. Stomatitis often occurs due to a deficiency of vitamin B, D, potassium, phosphorus, iron and zinc.

The appearance of mouth ulcers may be associated with decreased immunity, diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, diseases digestive tract or with serious intoxication (for example, poisoning with heavy metal salts).

This can even cause cancer to appear. It is no coincidence that the first people who manage to suspect a patient with a tumor of the oral cavity are dentists. Therefore, in order to rule out something dangerous, it is better to see a dentist in a timely manner if you have sores on your gums.

Great Drought

It is known that many medications, including sulfonamides, antidepressants, hormonal and diuretic drugs, as well as antibiotics, increase dry mucous membranes. And if your mouth is dry, cracks and then ulcers may appear there. Therefore, if possible, it is better to replace these drugs with others or, while taking them, use special oral moisturizers.

The risk of mouth ulcers increases during menopause - it's also due to increased dryness of all mucous membranes.

In these cases, you need to regularly moisturize the oral mucosa using mouth rinses and special drugs, so folk remedies. However, it is better not to use dental elixirs containing alcohol - they dry out the mucous membranes and can lead to cracks in the mouth. It is useful to drink more, chew gum, suck on lollipops or a slice of lemon, humidify the air, eat hot pepper(if your stomach allows it). All this helps to moisturize the mucous membrane and improve the microflora in the mouth.

After 2 weeks - see a doctor

Ordinary catarrhal stomatitis, caused by bacteria, is the most common. It can be treated on your own. If done correctly, most often it goes away in 1-2 weeks.

Effective home remedies are rinsing your mouth with a soda solution (1 tablespoon per glass warm water), or boric acid(1 teaspoon per 150 ml of water), or hydrogen peroxide (1 teaspoon per half a glass of water). You can also prepare a chamomile decoction. Sea buckthorn and rosehip oil and propolis tincture heal wounds well. In addition, it is necessary to irrigate the oral cavity with antiseptics (for example, chlorhexidine or miramistin). At severe pain painkillers can be used dental gels with lidocaine. But if stomatitis does not go away within two weeks, you should definitely visit a doctor. After all, an advanced disease can lead to purulent complications and even tissue death. This is especially true for aphthous stomatitis, in which multiple large and deep ulcers appear in the mouth with a grayish coating in the center and a red rim. You should not treat it yourself; this is a matter for a specialist. Under no circumstances should you burn ulcers with alcohol, iodine, or brilliant green.

However, stomatitis can be caused not only by bacteria. Viruses can also be causative agents (for example, enterovirus and herpes virus). In this case, the disease is most often accompanied by an increase in temperature. It could also be a fungal infection (for example, thrush) - then there may be a cheesy coating in the mouth. Other infections, including those that are sexually transmitted, also lead to stomatitis. In all these cases, of course, the underlying disease will have to be treated first.

Ulceration of the mucous membrane can also occur as a result of allergic reaction(for example, if you are allergic to the alloy from which dentures are made). Therefore, it is very important to determine what exactly causes the disease. And only a doctor can do this.

Herpetic stomatitis is treated with local anesthetics and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as antiviral ointments and immunomodulators. Bacterial damage oral mucosa requires oral antibiotics. Candidal stomatitis caused by fungi, can be treated antifungal drugs(used internally and externally).

It is very important to follow a diet during the treatment of any stomatitis: do not eat anything spicy, salty, sour, hot, as well as crackers, etc. solid food. If you have a fungal infection, you should also avoid sweets and dairy.
