What can mouth ulcers be a sign of?
In most cases, mouth ulcers are not serious and arise due to things like stress, minor trauma (cheek biting, for example), or eating salty or acidic foods. However, a mouth ulcer that hasn’t healed after 3 weeks could be a sign of a serious condition such as oral lichen planus, thrush, or cancer.
