What can I do to get a Canker score to away?
Question:
Answers:
Most canker sores take about 10 days to heal. The common treatment is to rinse with very warm salt water (2 tsp. salt, juice glass water). Rinse all of the water, try holding it in your mouth on the sore for several seconds. Don't rinse with plain water after. Some people recommend using Benedryl elixir on a cotton tip and putting it on the sore. The idea is to get the sore to burn on through the layers of tissue so it can then start healing. You can purchase over the counter salves such as Orabase. This acts like a band-aid but will wash off fairly quickly. If you get these often, seek a prescription at your dentist.
Swish salt water - there are no medicinal remidies to get rid of it. Orajel might make it feel better.
keep your mouth clean and gargle with salt water alot
dab a Q-tip is proxide and put it on the canker sore. this process works really good and feels better within the same day
Use Listerine daily. It helps prevent them. When you have one it burns but it also makes it go away faster.
I take Lysine. It's usually in the vitamin aisle of any supermarket and taking them helps prevent canker sores and helps heal them if they are already there.
Nancy got the best answer, no need to elaborate! :D
this works for me. when brush your teeth, brush your sore with the burch. Yes, it's gona be a little painful but it works. after that, rinse your mouth with listerine mouthwash on that area, and make sure you get the area real good with mouthwash, even try to bite down on it a little while rinsing. After you do that, it shouldnt bother you as much but do it every time you get the chance. People say you salt and water but i think it takes longer. My way works for me, and i hope it works for you. good luck.
rinse with salt water and what i do is that i put a little bit of salt on it for a minute or so and then rinse again with the salt solution. do this morning and night and you'll see improvement.
