Mouth Ulcers

These are small red or yellow sores that can appear on the gum or the inside of your child's cheek and can be quite uncomfortable. Usually, mouth ulcers are caused by brushing incorrectly, minor burns from hot food and drinks, biting the inside of the mouth accidentally, or some kind of irritation, such as a tooth that's become rough or orthodontic braces that rub against the gums.

The good news is they usually only last a few days and you can get special antiseptic mouthwashes and gels to reduce the discomfort. But if they persist it might be a good idea to see your dentist or doctor for advice.
