Question

Can you get canker sores on the roof of your mouth?

Answer 1

canker sores occur inside the mouth.

What Are the Symptoms of Canker Sores?

You may have a canker sore if you have:

A painful sore or sores inside your mouth – on the tongue, soft palate (the back portion of the roof of your mouth), or inside your cheeks

A tingling or burning sensation prior to the appearance of the sores

Sores in your mouth that are round, white, or gray in color, with a red edge or border

In severe attacks, you may also experience:

Fever

Physical sluggishness

Swollen lymph nodes

Pain from a canker sore generally lessens in a few days and the sores usually heal without treatment in about a week or two.

Avoiding foods that irritate your mouth – including acidic or spicy foods

Avoiding irritation from gum chewing

Brushing with a soft-bristled brush after meals and flossing daily, which will keep your mouth free of foods that might trigger a sore.
