Line 93:
The majority of the types of ulceration, require treatment of the underlying cause of the oral ulceration for successful prevention; Controlling imbalances in vitamins and minerals related to ulceration, managing or restricting the disease processes has shown to reduce the ulcerative process. For trauma related cases, avoiding the offending source will prevent ulceration, but since such trauma is usually accidental, this type of prevention is not usually practical.
Individuals who have a high incidence of opportunistic bacterial infections subsequent to an oral injury through accidental injury (biting etc.) can prevent an injury from becoming infected by directly bathing the wound in anti-bacterial mouthwash for one minute every 12 hours for 2 days; it is important to use a small vessel to contain the solution as most antibacterial mouthwashes that remain in the mouth for a full minute will have detrimental effects such as a prolonged impairement to the sense of taste and the potential loss of otherwise desirable flora. Quantities around 1ml are more than sufficient. A subsequent rinse in accordance with the manufacturers directions can only be of benefit and the first treatment should occur within 3 hours. {{fact}}
