Where do the public seek advice about mouth ulcers?
A. J. Mighell1 • An investigation of where the Israeli public seek advice on mouth ulcers. • Nearly one third of those surveyed had a history of mouth ulceration. • Lay people could not distinguish an ulcer with features that would strongly suggest a malignant neoplasm from other types of mouth ulcer. • The vast majority would first seek advice from their general medical practitioner. • Less than 20% would first approach a general dental practitioner.
