Hi..ulcers never happen without a cause. Visit a physician for test followed by cure. Show it to dentist first so that he can which type of ulcer is it.

Ulcers generally take 1-2weeks to heal completely. recurrent ulcers can be due to local mouth conditions such as rough teeth surface or rough mouth appliances or dentures n cheek notes. It can also b due to General nutrtional deficiency, digestion prob, work pressure n stressful lifestyle etc. Certain bacterial n viral infections also cause ulcers.
Treatment: start on multivitamin tabs ( containg vit c too) n iron supplements if ur hb% levels r low. Apply dologel oral ointment on ulcers thrice daily. Avoid spicy n oily food, alcohol, tea n coffee. Drink plenty of water n hv fibrous foods. Visit dentist to rule out oral factors responsible for ulcers.

Hi...there are causes for ulcers in the mouth - nutritional deficiency, autoimmune diseases like behcets disease, infective diseases like herpes, or they could even be just regular recurrent oral apthous ulcers. And since it is being happening for a long time, you will need a thorough check up to determine the cause. Kindly visit a dermatologist for the same.
