WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

What is a canker sore?

Canker sores, also known as aphthous ulcers, are painful lesions that typically form inside the mouth. Canker sores are white or yellowish in color and can appear anywhere in your mouth, usually on the gums or cheeks. They will usually go away on their own within 7-10 days.

Common symptoms

Symptoms may include:

  • Small, round or oval-shaped sores inside the mouth
  • White or yellowish center with a red border
  • Pain or discomfort, especially when eating, drinking, or speaking
  • Difficulty in maintaining good oral hygiene in the affected area due to tenderness
  • Tingling or burning before the sore appears in your mouth

Your answers will be submitted to a provider for review prior to your visit.
  3. 3. Video Visit & Provider Evaluation
    A provider will give you a diagnosis and treatment plan. If we can't treat you virtually, we'll help find the best in-person care options for you.
  4. 4. Prescription and Discharge Instructions
    The provider will share your treatment plan, work/school notes, and other details right after the visit. If a prescription is part of your treatment plan, you’ll be able to send your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.
