Help with canker sores ?

Question

i get really big and painful canker sores. If you have any advice or just anything to help me out i'd appreciate it.

Answer 1

My step-son gets cankers all the time and no matter what they are painful. Sometimes the sores are so big that he can barely talk. He uses a dilute solution of warm salt water so that it is healing without the initial stinging.

For the life of me I can't figure out why there isn't a better solution than salt water and numbing gel?

I think that the sores are caused or rather brought on by stress. I would suggest taking a good B vitamin complex to help your body's immune system deal with stress.

Answer 2

I never heard about the salt trick, I think that would hurt. but I also see how it could help heal it faster.

but you could use oragel.  

Answer 3

put salt on it it will hurt at first but it heals it. also if avaliable you can get oragel and it numbs it

Answer 4

Canker sores can be caused by a lot of different things.  Here is an especially useful web site.  http://www.animated-teeth.com/canker_sor...   Just copy and paste it into your web browser.  One solution to help them heal would be to rinse with a prescription called peridex, but it does stain your teeth.  Another option would be something called debacterol.  Debacterol is used topically and does hurt for a few seconds when it is apples but helps speed up the healing process.  Both peridex and debacterol are prescriptions.
