Hello Jerry,

Yes, that is an option. I just know that to try to do that will be a source of irritation as well. That side of my mouth has been very easy to irritate since before my first surgery. It's like having to choose the lesser evil. From previous experience I just believe that would be cause for a broader range of irritation. I think I would rather treat the one area of ulcers if at all possible.
