Dental Care Today PC - E. Dale Behner DDS Treats Cankers Sores Lesions and Fever Blisters

At Dental Care Today PC – E. Dale Behner DDS, one of the most common complaints we hear from Fishers dentistry patients is problems with mouth sores.

There are many different kinds of oral lesions that can make eating and talking painful. Some are annoying yet harmless, while other sores are more serious and require medical intervention.

Though not contagious, the most common complaint is canker sores, which affect an estimated eighty percent of the Carmel population. Canker sores can be attributed to stress, tissue irritation, or acidic foods.

Dr. Dale Behner can prescribe a topical dental paste to relieve pain and guard against infection. Recurring canker sores can sometimes be a symptom of a larger health problem.

Another common complaint is fever blisters or cold sores, which are contagious fluid-filled blisters. Indianapolis cold sore sufferers should be aware that they can become infected. At Dental Care Today PC – E. Dale Behner DDS, we advise our patients on how to treat cold sores and avoid further breakouts.

Fungal infections and oral cancer can cause sores in the mouth and throat. See your Indianapolis dentist if you experience any of the following:

Lumps or discolored patches in the mouth lasting longer than three weeks
Unusually large lesions
Multiple sores

Dr. Dale Behner reminds patients that eating a well-balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, and not smoking can all aid in oral health and hygiene.
