When it comes to the treatment of mouth ulcers, bonjela has always had it covered. Now, new bonjela Complete Plus literally leaves mouth ulcers covered.

Just like plasters are used on other parts of the body to protect against external aggression, we can now do the same for mouth ulcers. bonjela Complete Plus creates a protective barrier that covers and sticks, just like a plaster, protecting ulcers for up to four hours, whilst also soothing pain and aiding the healing process.

Bonjela Complete Plus is applied with the soft precision applicator, forming a protective film over the ulcer. The applicator allows hygienic application so that ulcers can be targeted easily.

New bonjela Complete Plus provides fast acting, effective protection whilst soothing pain and aiding the healing process.

Causes of mouth ulcers:

Why do mouth ulcers occur?
Most 'one-off' mouth ulcers are caused by some kind of damage or trauma to the mouth. It might be that you accidentally bit the inside of your cheek, caused irritation with a toothbrush (perhaps the bristles were too hard/ the head was too big/you were a little over-zealous in your brushing), or from a sharp tooth, or filling.

Anxiety, stress, feeling run down and hormonal changes are also thought to make you more susceptible to mouth ulcers, but there are other known triggers too. These include:

- Certain foods (including chocolate, coffee, peanuts, almonds, strawberries, cheese, tomatoes and wheat flour)
- Stopping smoking
- Some medicines (such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - painkillers such as ibuprofen and aspirin, Nicorandil - a medicine that is used to treat angina, and beta-blockers - medicines used to treat a variety of heart and blood flow conditions).

If you keep suffering from recurrent mouth ulcers your GP may look into these factors and other possible underlying causes such as whether you are deficient in vitamin B12 or iron, or have a condition which attacks or suppresses your body's immune system or one which causes inflammation.

Easing the pain of mouth ulcers:

What should I do to help ease the pain of mouth ulcers and to help them heal?
Why not try using either tried and trusted bonjela gel, or the new, breakthrough product bonjela Complete Plus?

Just massaging a small amount of bonjela gel onto the sore area will help to numb the pain quickly because it contains a local analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-inflammatory agent to reduce any swelling. It also contains an anti-bacterial ingredient which helps fight infection.

However, there is a brand new treatment you could try called bonjela Complete Plus.

bonjela Complete Plus forms a fast-acting protective barrier over the ulcer which lasts for up to 4 hours. It also soothes the pain associated with mouth ulcers and aids the healing process.

Self help tips:
- Make sure you have a good diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables to supply essential vitamins
- Try to get plenty of rest
- Try to avoid getting overtired, stressed or run down
- Use a soft toothbrush
- Clean your teeth after meals and then use an antiseptic mouthwash to keep your mouth clean and help prevent infection
- If you smoke, try to give up or at least cut down (although this may trigger ulcers in the short-term, you should see an improvement in the long run)
- Avoid spicy food and food that causes mouth ulcers to sting such as toast
- If you know that eating a particular food provokes an ulcer for you (it could be chocolate, coffee or peanuts), avoid eating that food until your ulcer has completely healed
- Consult your doctor if mouth ulcers are still present after 10 days
