10 Causes Of Canker Sores

Cause #7: Poor Dental Hygiene
Dental hygiene can play a part in the development of canker sores. Dental hygiene in this case does not only relate to cleaning teeth, gums and the oral cavity in general. It also concerns how this is done. For instance, if you are too aggressive when brushing your teeth, you may afflict injuries to your gums or cheeks. This can lead to canker sores. In a similar manner, some oral health products may have abrasive properties.
To support healing and reduce the appearance of canker sores, use gentle dental and oral care products. Also clean your mouth gently. You could also consult your dentist for further advice.
