Some of these STDs are localized to the genitals. Others, however, can cause a breakout of symptoms in your mouth. They include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Human papillomavirus<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HPV mouth warts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herpes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Syphilis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gonorrhea<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to STD mouth sores, oral herpes is generally considered the most common issue. Gonorrhea is a common reason for patients to experience STD symptoms in the mouth. A large number of these conditions, such as herpes, are not curable. This does not mean the condition cannot be treated. There are treatments that help to reduce the frequency and severity of herpes breakouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, however, effective treatments are available to get rid of the STD. This is mostly the case when a patient has an STD that is caused by bacteria and not a virus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are the symptoms of oral STDs?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are different symptoms that can develop if a patient has an oral STD. Due to different STDs being able to affect the mouth, it\u2019s important to understand how each looks and what the accompanying symptoms may be. If you suspect you might have an STD, you\u2019ll need to see a doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Herpes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herpes is also called the herpes simplex virus. When this STD affects the genital region, it is likely the patient has herpes simplex virus type 2. In cases where the mouth is affected, the patient has herpes simplex virus type 1 usually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herpes simplex virus type 1 is known to cause cold sores in the mouth. While cold sores are common in patients with oral herpes, other types of lesions can also develop. The patient may experience breakouts when they have herpes. These breakouts may come and go. When the patient has a flare-up of the symptoms, it will look like blisters that develop in the oral cavity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The blisters often affect the inside of the patient&#8217;s cheeks. These blisters can be different colors, including red, pink, gray, or yellow. Sometimes, the blisters appear clear. A breakout usually lasts for a week, up to 10 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"4496\" class=\"elementor elementor-4496\" data-elementor-settings=\"[]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-684ccf67 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"684ccf67\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-751bda7d\" data-id=\"751bda7d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42828eda elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"42828eda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Still need answers?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c82571b cta_text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c82571b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Book with a top-rated dentist in your city to get the treatment you need.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7fe7aafd\" data-id=\"7fe7aafd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7132a258 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"7132a258\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/?utm_source=organic&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=lead&#038;utm_term=all_++++_practice+++++&#038;utm_content=valuablecontent__opencare_blog__octg\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-xs\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Book now<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3><b>Gonorrhea<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gonorrhea is also a relatively common STD. This condition is caused by bacteria, unlike herpes that is related to a virus. When the bacteria enters the mouth, a bacterial infection may develop. The mucous membranes are the primary area of the mouth that will be affected by the bacterial infection. This is why symptoms may appear in the mouth, as well as the throat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many patients experience mild symptoms of gonorrhea. Gonorrhea in the mouth may develop slowly and not show any obvious signs at first. This is why it\u2019s often difficult to detect the condition at an early stage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A burning sensation may be experienced in the throat. Some people report the burning affecting their mouth too. Swollen glands are also common among people who have gonorrhea. In some cases, the tongue may be affected by white spots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Syphilis<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the last 16 years, there\u2019s been a significant <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/std\/stats17\/tables\/1.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increase in the prevalence of syphilis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This condition develops in phases. The initial phase will usually cause sores to develop inside the mouth. These syphilis symptoms in the mouth are called chancres. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sores can develop at the tip of the patient&#8217;s tongue. Sometimes, they form on the gums or close to the tonsils. The lips may also be affected. The sores tend to grow larger over time and can turn into an open sore. The sore may be red, gray, or yellow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Oral STD pictures<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some STDs can affect the tongue, while others may rather target the gums, back of the mouth, or the cheeks.

When a person contracts oral herpes, symptoms usually start to show within two to 12 days. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With syphilis, it usually takes about three weeks before symptoms develop. Depending on the type of syphilis, some people may only experience symptoms after as many as 20 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How are oral STDs Diagnosed?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The diagnostic process starts with a few questions about sexual history and activity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The doctor also needs to inspect the lesions or sores in the patient\u2019s mouth. In most cases, a doctor will be able to determine the type of STD affecting a patient by looking at these sores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The doctor may ask the patient to undergo a test. This can help to rule out other potential causes behind the sores, blisters, or spots. These tests can also help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis for the STD that affects the patient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How are oral STDs treated?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment depends on the STD the patient is diagnosed with. Some STDs cannot be cured, but treatment usually helps to slow down the progression of the disease. This is generally the case if the patient is diagnosed with a viral infection that spread through sexual activity. When bacteria cause the STD, then antibiotics can often be used as a treatment option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Can I visit a dentist if I have an oral STD?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have an oral STD, you may fear finding a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/opencare.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dentist near you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You may not be sure if the professional will refuse to provide services during the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-dentist-appointment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dentist appointment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Fortunately, this is not the case. Most dentists are capable of providing efficient dental services to patients who have oral STDs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, there are cases where the dentist may be able to detect the presence of an oral STD. Dentists are highly trained in identifying problems with the oral cavity. Thus, they are generally able to identify sores and other symptoms that signal the presence of an STD. The dentist may also advise you on appropriate ways to care for your mouth when there are sores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"2964\" class=\"elementor elementor-2964\" data-elementor-settings=\"[]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f73b7d2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f73b7d2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3ab6f21\" data-id=\"3ab6f21\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0ccac3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d0ccac3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Due for a checkup?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b87420a cta_text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b87420a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Find a top rated dentist near you that takes your insurance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae7ac98\" data-id=\"ae7ac98\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5290808 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5290808\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/?utm_source=organic&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=conversion&#038;utm_term=all_++++_patient+++++&#038;utm_content=valuablecontent__opencare_blog__octg\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-xs\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Book now<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cases where the symptoms are severe, the dentist may consider asking the patient to obtain adequate treatment for the STD before dental services are rendered.
