Stomatitis
Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mucous lining of any of the
structures in the mouth, which may involve the cheeks, gums, tongue,
lips, and roof or floor of the mouth. The inflammation can be caused by
conditions in the mouth itself, such as poor oral hygiene, poorly fitted
dentures, or from mouth burns from hot food or drinks, or by conditions
that affect the entire body, such as medications, allergic reactions, or
infections. |
