Hello all

I have developed a few blisters/ulcers in my mouth in my third week after treatment. Has anyone else had this? I'm keeping my mouth clean, etc.

  • These are common. Are you being too adventurous with your food? There is another kind of blister which is small and often disappears overnight. These are caused by the ducts of minor salivary glands in your mouth and lips getting blocked. Keep a food diary and see if there is a commonality. 
    SLS in toothpaste can also irritate and the worst culprit is Duraphat. Try using Oranurse for a few days

    You can reduce the amount of Duraphat you use by having a fluoride varnish every three months at your dental hygienist
