I'm getting canker sores?

Question

Ok. for the past year ive been getting canker sore? why? ive gotten them usually on my bottom lip. in fact, all of them have been on my bottom lip and 1 on the side of my tongue. There really not that big. But im getting them once a month? Why?

Answer 1

some people are just prone...my brother is.  start keeping track of what you have eaten around the time you get them, and you'll probably be able to narrow down some triggers.  Like my brother can't handle chocolate or acidic food sometimes.  Stress causes them as well, I think.  Gargling with warm, salty water is a good way to disinfect it, and if it really bothers you anbesol or something similar should help you feel better also.  good luck!

Answer 2

Well if you have braces, that can cause them. I have braces and i have like 3 at the moment. And i use Orajel Mouth Sore Swabs. You can usually get them a a local pharmacy or walmart! Good Luck!

Answer 3

A common caouse of canker sores is stress.  I used to get them alot the year a family member died, i moved, and started middle school all in one week.  Try to relax. In the mean time, put salt on it.  Yes, i know its excrutiatingly painful but oh well. And don't drink orange juice

Answer 4

either if bacterias that are in your mouth or you bit yourself. i always get them. in matter of fact, i have one right now on my bottom gums...

i think it genetics because my mom always gets it and i always it out of nowhere..

to cure it, use mouthwash or put salt on it and let it sit. it will sting.

Answer 5

well idk why you are getting them but you should try buying these canker sore discs they are small and help heal them faster
