Oral lesions (mouth sores) make it painful to eat and talk. Two of the most common recurrent oral lesions are fever blisters (also known as cold sores) and canker sores. Though similar, fever blisters and canker sores have important differences.<\/p>\n
Fever blisters are fluid-filled blisters that commonly occur on the lips. They also can occur on the gums and roof of the mouth (hard palate), but this is rare. Fever blisters are usually painful; pain may precede the appearance of the lesion by a few days (prodromal phase). \u00a0The blisters rupture within hours, then crust over. They last about seven to ten days.\u00a0 Fever blisters result from a herpes simplex virus type I that becomes active. This virus is latent (dormant) in afflicted people, but can be activated by conditions such as stress, fever, trauma, hormonal changes, and exposure to sunlight. When lesions reappear, they tend to form in the same location.\u00a0 It is felt that treatment with antiviral should be started during the prodromal phase to hasten healing and reduce viral shedding (the source of contagion).\u00a0 Cold sores are most contagious when oozing blisters are present. \u00a0The virus can also be spread in the absence blisters by sharing eating utensils, razors and towels, as well as kissing.\u00a0 Note that this is not the same as the herpes virus associated with genital herpes.<\/p>\n
Canker sores (also called aphthous ulcers) are different than fever blisters. They are small, red or white, shallow ulcers occurring on the tongue, soft palate, or inside the lips and cheeks; they do not occur in the roof of the mouth or the gums. They are quite painful, and usually last 5-10 days.<\/p>\n
Eighty percent of the U.S. population between the ages of 10 to 20, most often women, get canker sores. The best available evidence suggests that canker sores result from an altered local immune response associated with stress, trauma, or irritation. Acidic foods (e.g., tomatoes, citrus fruits, and some nuts) are known to cause irritation in some patients.\u00a0 Unlike cold sores, canker sores pose no risk to others.\u00a0 There is no definitive treatment other than time.\u00a0 Some studies have suggested that warm salt water rinses may be the most valuable treatment although a large range of medications, some of which have significant side effects, have been used, especially in more refractory and frequent attacks.\u00a0 When a sore is enlarging or failing to heal after two weeks or occurs on a bony surface, see your doctor.<\/p>\n

If you or your dentist have any question about a lesion in your mouth that fails to go away in a few weeks, seek the attention of an otolaryngologist.<\/p>\n
