Thrush

Good oral hygiene is the cornerstone of preventing the occurrence of mouth ulcers. Daily brushing of the teeth in the morning and evening, the use of dental floss after meals and rinsing with oral solutions significantly prevent their appearance. In addition, it is necessary to visit the dentist every six months in order to systematically clean the teeth and prevent inflammation of the oral cavity.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle, reducing daily stress and eating a balanced diet plays an equally important role. Adequate intake of foods rich in iron, B vitamins and vitamin C prevent their appearance. Avoiding certain foods, such as citrus fruits, fresh pineapple and nuts, often helps prevent them.
