Mouth Ulcer Treatment Market Overview
 The Mouth Ulcer Treatment market is projected to reach USD 1.13 Billion by 2030 at 3.90% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030. Mouth ulcers are painful sores that develop in the oral cavity's mucous membrane, making it difficult to chew, bite, or eat. Stress, illness, injury, allergies, and other conditions can cause a mouth ulcer, which causes excruciating agony. The rising usage of synthetics in oral products such as toothpaste, as well as an increase in unhealthy lifestyles, such as increased consumption of junk food and smoke, are propelling the market forward. Mouth ulcers can be avoided by preventing tissue injury, avoiding irritating foods, and keeping good dental hygiene. Aside from the traditional way, oral ulcers are treated using a variety of medications. The expansion of this mouth ulcer treatment market is being driven by an older population and an increase in the occurrence of mouth ulcers. Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are painful sores that develop on the lips, cheeks, tongue, floor, the roof of the mouth, and gums. Some individuals may find it difficult to eat, drink, or brush their teeth due to mouth ulcers. Most mouth ulcers are benign and recurrent, clearing up on their own within 1-2 weeks. Acidic foods, biting the tongue or inside of the cheek, braces, poor-fitting dentures, and other apparatus that rub against the mouth and gums, vitamin deficiency, stress, anxiety, infections, and maybe a sign of other diseases such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, or HIV are all common causes of mouth ulcers.
