Causes of Ulcer Although the singular main
reason that causes ulcer is unknown, it can be
caused due to several reasons say dental experts
at Dentzz. Following are the reasons that can
trigger ulcer in mouth Prolonged stress affects
the stomach which leads to production of some
acids that cause ulcer Indigestion and bad
stomach can also lead to creation of heat and
acidic material which is released in the form of
ulcers in the mouth Sharp edges of protruding
tooth/teeth which may cause wounds leading to
ulcer Dentures and braces have the same effect
as above.
