Dr. Zhang Liwen
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, oral ulcers can be improved with acupuncture. However, the specific treatment method should be selected according to the patient's actual condition. If the ulcer is caused by excessive internal heat or inflammation, acupuncture at the "Rong" (Spring) points of the Yangming meridian may be chosen. If it results from yin deficiency, acupoints such as Taixi (KI3) and Zhaohai (KI6) may be used. Patients are advised to seek treatment at the dental department of a正规 hospital.
