Getting rid of cankers?

Question:

How do you get rid of them? I have one in my mouth in between my lower lip meets the gum. It is small, white and annoying when I eat or when I have to stretch my mouth.

Answers:
You can't do anything to get rid of it, it will go away on its own in about a week or so. Just go to the drug store and buy something for teeth or gum pain and make sure it has benzocaine in it. It will numb it.

Other Answers:
use salt make salt water and swish it in your mouth each time before you eat i hope it gets better!

Yeah, canker sores really hurt, I sympathize with you.

Swish your mouth with warmed salt water. That seems to help. Numbing solutions can also be put on them topically to ease the pain and discomfort.

Make a solution of salt water and swish it around your mouth. It's a good solution for cankers, but if you're feeling tough, try putting salt directly on the canker. I've found that it makes them go away much faster, but only if you can take the stinging.

OKAY, DON'T USE SALT WATER. You only use warm saltwater gargles to PREVENT them. If you swish with a saltwater gargle, it's going to sting the piss out of your mouth. Unfortunatly there is nothing you can do for a canker sore except wait for it do heal up and go away. If you don't believe me, go ahead and swish.
