Topic starter
I’ve developed a small oral ulcer that’s causing discomfort while eating and speaking. It’s been a few days and although it’s not very large, it feels sore and irritating. I’m unsure whether this is something serious or if a general dentist can help treat it effectively.

Yes, general dentists can effectively treat minor oral ulcers in most cases. At Ashford Dental Center, general dentists assess the cause of the ulcer—such as stress, trauma or nutritional deficiency—and provide appropriate treatment like topical medications, oral gels or lifestyle advice. They also monitor healing and will refer you to a specialist only if the ulcer persists or shows unusual symptoms.
