Canker Sore Treatments

By Mike Lasano

Canker sores are legions on the inside of your mouth that can happen anytime. A canker sore can be a real pain.

A canker sore outbreak can last for a few days. As of today, the medical community does not know for sure what causes canker sores.

Even before the canker sores become mature, you can stop it before that happens. Many types of toothpaste contain sodium lauryl sulfate. SLS is an ingredient that can dry out your mouth which can cause canker sores.

Make sure you get a good amount of sleep. Lack of sleep causes stress which can cause canker sores.

The lack of nutrients also plays a role in the creation of canker sores. Make sure you take your multivitamins if you are not getting enough vitamins from food.

Brush and wash your mouth with antibacterial mouth wash. This can kill most of the bacteria that may be causing the canker sores. Salt water and hydrogen peroxide can work just as well.

Put some baking soda mixed with water on your canker sore. Baking soda acts to soothe and heal the canker sore faster. Refrain from eating foods that cause more irritation to your mouth such as chips and spicy food.

Get some yogurt to treat your canker sores. Yogurt has the ingredient called acidophilus which can boost your immune system. By boosting your immune system it could heal the canker sores faster.

If you prefer, you can get medication from drugstores to ease the pain of your canker sores. They are usually OTC, so there is no need for a doctors prescription.

Do not wait until your canker sores become big and painful. As soon as you feel it coming on, starting doing all the above mentioned procedures to halt it in its tracks.
