They are not contagious. Although a sore will usually go away on its own, what if it doesn\u2019t? And what can you do to treat it at home if you <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/affordable-dentist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">can\u2019t afford a dentist<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes a\nCanker Sore?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the exact cause of a canker sore is unknown, a\nvariety of factors can trigger it, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Irritation in the mouth by things such as\naggressive brushing or dental work<\/li><li>Oral injury<\/li><li>Sensitivities to food or sodium lauryl sulfate\n<br>\n<\/li><li>Stress and hormonal changes <\/li><li>Certain diseases, including celiac disease and\nirritable bowel syndrome <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the\nSymptoms and Signs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a canker sore is developing, you will feel oral pain or\nburning. In a day or two, the sore will appear. The sore is a slight bump that\nis round or oval. The center is usually yellowish gray, and the border is\nred.<br>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Will It\nLast?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sore usually lasts four to seven days. If your sore lingers, or if it gets worse, you <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/affordable-dentist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">might need to see a dentist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can You Do\nAbout It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if you can\u2019t afford a dentist? You can try\nover-the-counter pastes such as Anbesol that contain benzocaine, which will\nhelp speed the healing process and make the sore less painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If Home\nTreatment Doesn\u2019t Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your efforts to treat the sore don\u2019t help\u2014or if it\u2019s getting worse\u2014schedule an appointment with a dentist for an examination. You may need a prescription for oral or topical medication or mouth rinse. It is possible that the sore is not a canker sore, but your dentist can make that determination. If your budget is limited and you don\u2019t have dental insurance, ask the office representative <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/affordable-dentist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">what can be done to make treatment affordable<\/a> for you.
