Canker Sores

Usually eating something really acidic can cause a canker sore and one way to help it is by doing the opposite and using something like an antacid like a rinse like Mylanta and rinsing your mouth out with that and around the canker sore can help improve it and help it feel better.

I think the best way to avoid canker sores are by taking steps to kind of prevent them from happening in the first place. I've started taking a couple vitamins. I think it's B12 and like a daily supplement vitamin and a couple others, but if you take your vitamins regularly and you have all the nutrition you need, they come a lot less. So I get canker sores all the time and I have been canker sore free for at least a few months, which is huge for me. I usually have them every week, but I haven't had canker sore in a long time because I've been taking vitamins daily to try to keep myself healthy and keep my body healthy and it's helped a lot. I hope that helps you.

I found a helpful tip for canker sores is washing, like rinsing my mouth with mouthwash. Just kind of like really cleaning the cold sore, or the canker sores best as it can. And that seems to help me.

I found that if I eat yogurt and like put it directly on where the canker is at, it helps take the soreness out. So it's not quite as painful.

You can make a thin little paste with baking soda and water until it's kind of just the right consistency and then you take that and you put it on your canker sore. It helps provide a neutralizing effect to the acidic breakdown that's causing that canker sore.

One helpful tip for a canker sore is like ice chips and just sticking it right up against the canker sore and holding it there. Let the ice melt in your mouth and it helps kind of numb up and give some relief to that little sore spot in your mouth.
