What are Canker Sores?

Canker sores are tiny open wounds, also known as aphthous ulcers. They can cause pain, especially when eating salty, spicy, or citrusy foods.

Most people experience mild canker sores three to four times a year, which typically heal within a week without leaving scars. However, major canker sores can be more severe and last over two weeks, potentially leaving scars.

In some cases, they may cause other symptoms, including fatigue, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. Canker sores are most common in people between 10 and 20 years old, but they can happen to anyone.

About Cold Sores

Cold sores are not the same as canker sores, even though many people use the names interchangeably. They are fever blisters on the outside of the mouth caused by the herpes virus. They’re painful and contagious.

Treating Canker Sores and Cold Sores in London, ON

Although canker sores and cold sores typically heal on their own, they can be quite annoying!

If you’re dealing with either a cold sore or canker sore, avoid irritating foods and close contact with others. This is even more important with cold sores, since they are caused by a contagious virus.

With some minor at-home care, you may be able to alleviate them. However, if your symptoms are severe, or you want some advice, our dedicated team at Alba Dental Centre is here to help. We offer professional treatment for canker sores and cold sores in London.
