What are mouth ulcers?
Mouth ulcers are a common form of ulcer that is commonly found in the oral cavity, also known as the opening of the mouth, or on the tongue. Mouth ulcers are not contagious and are caused by several different conditions. These include things you can help prevent and things that you cannot. Things such as biting the inside of your cheek, cuts and burns when eating and drinking, or a toothbrush or toothpaste that is irritating. Some conditions that cannot be controlled, such as hormone changes, medication, or genetics can make getting mouth ulcers more common.
How does Iglu help to treat mouth ulcers?
Iglu Gel works in three ways to treat ulcers:
- It forms a coating that helps to protect the sensitive area of the mouth that has been affected.
- The active ingredient lidocaine works as a painkiller
- Prevents infection
