I need a remedy for a mouth ulcer/canker sore.?

Question:

I bit my cheek really hard a few days ago and now I have a mouth ulcer (or some people call them canker sores) where I bit it. It is pretty big and painful. I have read up on all the home remedies out there (all the herbs, milk of magnesia, salt water, peroxide, even constipation remedies!) and want to know which ones actually have worked for you. This ulcer is right in the center of my cheek so my top and bottom teeth brush it every time I open my mouth! I need some relief soon! Thanks!

Answers:
Brush your teeth so that the sore doesn't become more infected, and then gargle with hydrogen peroxide for at least a minute. Do this twice a day after brushing your teeth and it will start to heal within a couple of days. This has ALWAYS worked for me. Salt water burns too much so this is a great alternative. You can also go to the store and get some Oragel (the kind you use for teething babies) and apply it directly to the sore for instant relief.

Best of luck to you! I feel your pain!

salt water

Warm salt water is best.

There's cool stuff out on the market that seals your sore while it heals it and it numbs it a little too if you're having trouble eating with it. Heals you up fast! Look in the dental aisle where you find things like oragel.

warm salt water has always worked for me. for instant relief use numbing gel
