Mouth Sores Back to Services

The most common mouth sores are cold sores and canker sores. Canker sores (aphthous ulcers) appear inside the mouth and cold sores (fever blister or herpes simplex) are found outside the mouth, usually on the lips or under the nose or chin.

Canker sores are very common and recur often. Our patients with canker sores have experienced immediate relief with Rainey Rinse^®, our customized antimicrobial and anesthetic solution.

Cold sores are fluid-filled blisters of viral infection and are highly contagious. Dr. Rainey can prescribe an antiviral drug to reduce this type of infection and a topical anesthetic to provide temporary relief.

Any mouth sore is an indication of an imbalance within our body. Sores lasting a week, or longer, may be symptoms of a serious disease or disorder. Call us immediately if you have a mouth sore.
