Q.
I get mouth ulcers quite often, and am sick and tired of them. Are there any main causes of this like not cleaning your mouth properly, or are some people just more inclined to getting them?

A.
The precise mechanism by which canker sores or mouth ulcers form has not been definitively determined, but it is likely that their development is related to the patient’s immune system. It is also thought that a vitamin deficiency can cause cancer sores, such as B1, B2, B6, B12 and vitamin C deficiencies. Stress and hormonal changes have also been associated with the onset of canker sores.
