Irritants
Certain irritants can cause people to experience sores on the roof of their mouth. Two serious irritants to the body, tobacco and alcohol, can cause significant irritation to the mouth and may cause certain cancers.
Due to the persistent irritation and dehydration that tobacco and alcohol can sometimes cause, excessive cell growth in the mucosal lining of the mouth could occur, resulting in painful sores on the roof of the mouth.5‘Tobacco Stomatitis - What You Need to Know.’ Drugs.com, www.drugs.com/cg/tobacco-stomatitis.html
