the appearance of a non-painful ulcer in one or more areas of the mouthunusual ulcers that appear in a new spot in the mouthulcers that are spreadingulcers lasting longer than 3 weeks.
Others may want to seek medical attention or treatment for their ulcers if:

Prevention
Maintaining good dental hygiene, including brushing and flossing, may help to prevent mouth ulcers.
