Why do I create Dental Smarts Websites? Welcome to Dental Smarts, a network of dental sites I created as a source of general information that may be helpful. Why am I creating these sites? Well, it seems to me that many of the dental material on the Internet is written by, or on behalf of, someone who is promoting themselves or a particular product or treatment. A few dentists are even promoting treatments not backed by science. Of course my sites give voice to my own ideas and opinions and should be taken as such. But, I wanted to present information on the Internet that is not biased. As for the margin ads, I have no opinion about them, one way or the other, as I never know what ads will appear and they continually change.
Obviously, dentistry cannot be practiced over the Internet. Therefore, I must emphasize that I can only discuss dental topics in a general way. The information presented may or may not apply to your specific dental condition. The best source for dental information about your dental health is your own dentist. So, although I am presenting information here, I am not your dentist and your reading my articles obviously does not create a doctor-patient relationship. Accordingly, I am unable to answer email or comment on individual dental care of website readers.
Thanks for visiting! Dr. Lynne Heckert
CANKER SORE /MOUTH ULCER
Mouth ulcers probably interest me more than they interest the average dentist. As a child I got these "canker sores" on a regular basis, some reaching the diameter of a dime. In my training and practice, I have searched pathology textbooks and researched literature at regular intervals looking for explanations and, above all, relief. Most importantly, for over thirty years I have observed the behavior of these painful little lesions in myself and in my patients.
There are many treatments sold for apthous ulcers, most being ointments to cover and numb them. Many divergent ideas about their cause and treatment can be found on the Internet. SO, here, on this site, I am offering the same guidance I would offer a patient in my office. I'll tell you what has worked for me and many patients,
May your mouth ulcer disappear soon!
