Recurrent ulcer inside lower jaw / floor of mouth
 Login/Join 
Posted
Hi. I read somewhere that ulcers on the floor of the mouth should be watched with care...
I am male, 34 and I used to get a lot of mouth ulcers but got a special toothpaste and now have them rarely.
However if I get run down then I do on occasions (every few months) get one which is always in the same place - a small bump swells on the floor of the mouth behind the front teeth and slightly to the side and then becomes an ulcer.
It only ever lasts a normal ulcer time (e.g. 1 week) and then goes away again, but I do wonder why I always get it in the same place..
Picture attached. Thanks for any advice!

Hi George

The best thing to do would be to see a doctor or dentist, especially since the problem is recurrent. Are you still using the "special toothpaste"? Are you rinsing thoroughly when you use it?

Hope everything turns out well.


Howdilly doodilly, survivorinos!
