Introduction
Stomatitis is one of the most common inflammatory conditions of the oral cavity, affecting people of all ages. It manifests as redness of the mucosa, pain, swelling, ulcers (aphthae), and overall discomfort.
If left untreated, stomatitis can interfere with eating, speaking, and significantly reduce quality of life.
Oral inflammation is often associated with infections, weakened immunity, gum disease, or poor hygiene. At Aregak Dental Clinic, we use modern diagnostic tools and therapeutic methods to ensure fast and predictable recovery.
What Is Stomatitis? Types: Viral, Bacterial, and Allergic
Stomatitis is an inflammation of the oral mucosa. The main types include:
1. Viral Stomatitis
small blisters, burning sensation, pain.
2. Bacterial Stomatitis
Accompanied by pronounced inflammation, sometimes purulent lesions.
Often occurs alongside gingivitis, periodontitis, or dental plaque buildup.
3. Allergic Stomatitis
Triggered by allergies
to foods, medications, lacquers, dental materials, and other irritants.
Proper diagnosis is essential because treatment depends entirely on the type and cause
Main Causes of Oral Inflammation and Prevention Tips
Key factors that contribute to stomatitis include:
✔ Viral and bacterial infections
✔ Weak immune system
✔ Poor oral hygiene
✔ Gum diseases (gingivitis, periodontitis)
✔ Vitamin deficiencies (B, C, folate)
✔ Stress
✔ Smoking and alcohol
✔ Allergic reactions
Prevention Recommendations
• Maintain daily oral hygiene
• Avoid overly acidic or spicy foods
• Strengthen immunity
• Visit the dentist twice a year

Oral Sanitation: A Crucial Step in Dental Health
Sanitation is a comprehensive diagnostic and cleaning procedure aimed at eliminating all inflammatory sources.
It includes:
✔ removal of tartar and plaque
✔ evaluation of gum health
✔ X-ray or 3D diagnostics
✔ early cavity detection
✔ Professional Dental Cleaning
Regular sanitation reduces stomatitis recurrence and improves overall oral health.
The Role of Therapeutic Dentistry in Treating Stomatitis
At Aregak, therapeutic dental care includes:
• minimally invasive methods
• controlled anesthesia
• treatment of mucosal inflammation
• anti-inflammatory therapy
• personalized hygiene plans
This allows us to quickly relieve pain, reduce swelling, and prevent the spread of inflammation.
Are There Home Remedies That Help Prevent Stomatitis?
Some home measures may temporarily improve symptoms but cannot replace professional treatment.
Helpful Home Practices:
✔ chlorhexidine rinses (if prescribed)
✔ warm saltwater rinses
✔ Vitamins C and B complex

⚠️ Self-treatment can worsen inflammation.
