Hi, my father (Age-60 yrs) has reoccurring tongue ulcer, there is no pain or itching or irritation but only abrasion.Just for the information 2 weeks ago had gone to dentist for removing the upper molar tooth due to decay.Medicine taken:-B complex capsule Please Advise
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Recurring tongue ulcers can be due to a sharp tooth. Make sure a sharp tooth doesn't irritate the area. Check if unhygienic dentures are present. Avoid smoking and alcoholism Be stress-free. Take B12, iron and folic acid supplements. Maintain proper oral hygiene. You can apply a soothing gel like Gum tone which prevents any secondary infection. Extraction as such will not cause tongue ulcers but, it may be secondary to the antibiotics used after extraction. Regards.
