The mouth is a bad place for injuries, sores, or inflammation. It seems that even the smallest irritation in the mouth can cause serious discomfort for dental patients. These non-specific irritations in the mouth have a name. They are called stomatitis in Friendswood. If you suspect that you have stomatitis, give your local dentist a call.
What is Stomatitis?
A good general definition for stomatitis in Friendswood is the inflammation of the membranes in the mouth. These usually affect a person’s ability to speak, eat, and even get to sleep at night. If you suffer from mouth sores, you know that stomatitis can really impact the lives of Pearland, Alvin, and Manvel residents. Some common causes of stomatitis in Friendswood can be canker sores, cold sores, gum disease, biting the inside of your mouth or your tongue, burning your mouth, and irritation caused by braces or broken teeth. Many sores in the mouth will generally clear up on their own in less than two weeks. However, your dentist can determine if it is caused by a viral or bacterial infection, and they can also advise you on treating the symptoms of stomatitis in Friendswood with pain relievers and at-home remedies such as salt water rinses.
