Weber Family Dental Treats Cankers Sores, Lesions, And Fever Blisters

At Weber Family Dental, one of the most common complaints we hear from Gainesville GA general dentistry patients is problems with mouth sores.

There are many different kinds of oral lesions which 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 Gainesville GA population. Canker sores can be attributed to stress, tissue irritation, or acidic foods. Dr. Joseph Weber 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. Gainesville GA cold sore sufferers should be aware that they can become infected. At Weber Family Dental, 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 Gainesville GA family 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. Joseph Weber reminds patients that eating a well balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, and not smoking can all aid in oral health and hygiene.
