Contact stomatitis
This
underdiagnosed problem usually causes a tran-sient soreness, associated with a
diffuse redness of the lips and buccal gingivae. Mouthwashes, hard sweets
(candies) and hot pizzas are common causes of the irritant type, whereas
cinnamon, vanilla, peppermint, spearmint and dentifrices are the most common
causes of allergic contact stomatitis. When local stomatitis or ulcers occur
near a gold tooth filling, gold allergy should be suspected, but patch testing
is needed before recommending that the filling should be removed.
