Cause #3: Thermal Burn

Mouth ulcers caused by thermal burns are usually a result of excessively hot food or beverage. The use of a microwave has also increased the frequency or thermal burns in the mouth as food can be cold externally despite being hot internally.

These burns usually occur in the posterior buccal mucosa or palate. Thermal burns usually appear ulcerated with zones of erythema. Burns that affect the tongue can also cause numbness and reduced taste, which is temporary until the lesion heals.
