Nutrition plays a significant role in the prevention, treatment, and management of mouth sores. Some key nutrients that can help keep your mouth healthy are calcium, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc. Caution: You should not use zinc supplements unless directed by a physician, as you may be at increased risk for kidney problems if you take too much zinc. 

Eating healthy and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can do wonders for your oral health. Eating less acidic foods, cutting out caffeine, and quitting smoking are just some of the many ways to reduce your risk of mouth sores.

If you have frequent mouth sores and have not been able to figure out why it’s time for you to stop worrying about it. There are things that we can do to prevent and minimize them.

If you eat a lot of sugar and carbohydrates, you might get mouth sores. The more food that you eat and drink, the more saliva is produced in your mouth. This means that there is more food for bacteria to grow on, which leads to an increase in the number of mouth sores.
