A common medical problem that primary care physicians encounter in daily practice are oral lesions, for which proper training to identify the possible causes is necessary. Many potential etiologies may cause an oral ulcer, making the differential diagnosis difficult. We present the case of a 47 year-old woman who presented at a primary care center with an ulcer located in the inferior part of the tongue that resulted from a dental problem.

Palabras clave : Mouth; oral ulcer; primary health care.
