Could Continued Mouth Ulcer While Having Reflux Problem Be Oral Thrust?

I have a mouth ulcer for a very long time. Do not know wat kind it is. Because of some whitenees in my mouth someone suggested oral thrust. Some of the dentists prescribed some paste etc without taking a biopsy. Lot of trouble eating. I have acid reflux problem too. Guide me. Thanks

thanks for posting your query in HCM
there are many causes of mouth ulcers .. it can be due to
1. trauma from teeth or hard food biting
2. infection (viral, fungal/oral thrush or bacterial )
3. nutrition deficiency
4. oral carcinoma
5. poor hygiene
6. reflux disease
7. tobbaco and ciggeretts use etc..
oral thrush if present is a candidal infection and presents as a pseudomembrane which can be removed easily by antifungal oinment like clotrimazole... it presents mostly in person with poor oral hygiene..
As you have acid reflux i would suggest you to take antacid syrup twice daily after food this will help your ulcer to heal..
take multivitamines and use antiseptic rinses
apply antiinflmmatory ointment over it ..
If it still persist for more than 10 days after treatment i would advice you to go to your dentist for further checkup and biopsy if needed..


thanks
