Canker Sores

Canker sores, also known as aphthous ulcers, are small, painful blisters that appear on the inner lips, cheeks, tongue, and roof of the mouth. These sores can be red, white, or yellow and often have a red border. They cause discomfort when eating, speaking, or moving the affected area of the mouth.
