Mouth Ulcer Treatment in Coimbatore
The short answer: Most mouth ulcers heal by themselves within one to two weeks. Treatment focuses on relieving pain, removing irritants such as a sharp tooth or ill-fitting denture, and checking for causes like vitamin deficiency or infection. Any ulcer lasting more than three weeks should be examined promptly.
