What is the cause?

Cracks in the corner of your mouth can signal a number of things including nutritional deficiencies. Try upping your intake of vitamin B, iron and protein and wear lip balm to keep your lips moisturised and protected.

If you're experiencing bleeding, redness or swelling we recommend you visit your doctor. When you visit us for your check up and clean we'll ask you about your symptoms, as well. They might indicate that your teeth are misaligned or your dentures are not the right fit, and in the very young, thumb or dummy sucking are often the cause.

Be happy, be healthy. Call us at Cameron and Co Dental Townsville today on 4729 5777.
