Mouth sores

My daughter has a mouth full of ulcers since she got Covid and I have heard of others like this. Perhaps her immunity is down since the infection a few weeks ago ?

I've got this at the moment too. Had dental appointment for check up last week and because I hadn't changed my toothbrush for ages bought a new one in Boots three days before appointment. Village Boots with very little choice so I went for the hard bristles and it was very big compared to my previous toothbrush. I think this caused it, Back to smaller new toothbrush now but it was agony when I had some beetroot the other night!

I have used Orajel dental gel for any problem with teeth or gums. Because of COVID I didn’t go to the dentist but I can’t give that as an excuse anymore and need to make an appointment. It does give relief to any discomfort in the mouth Benzocaine is the active ingredient.

If you have a long wait for a dentist's appointment, you could ask your GP to look at it.

I have no idea what could cause the sore, but glycerin put on sores in the mouth with your finger tip will probably help.

I’m not sure that a GP will look at anything to do with the mouth. I was told that they did no training on anything mouth related but that might just apply to dental work.

My GP did see me about my lip MayBee70, I was worried I might have mouth cancer. She did insist I also visited the dentist.

Thank you so much everyone, the pain and soreness have now gone, but the roof of my mouth is still red

Did you see the pharmacist about it Debbiedoo44? I found ours really helpful.
