Dr. Zhang Liwen
Patients with oral ulcers may opt for toothpaste with a softer, milder taste or choose toothpaste containing traditional Chinese herbal ingredients that help clear heat. Such toothpaste ingredients have a soothing effect on the oral mucosa. Common causes of oral ulcers include vitamin deficiencies, dietary irritants, decreased immunity, genetic factors, and poor mental health. In addition to using medicated toothpaste, other supportive measures can be adopted. It is recommended to follow a light, bland diet; avoid spicy and irritating foods; take vitamin supplements regularly; minimize late-night activities; and engage in moderate physical exercise to enhance immune function.
