Interesting... they never bothered me enough to look into it, but I'll pour some salt on the next and see if it does anything.
 
Hey BradT you ready for the real fix.

I used to get canker sores all the time. The prevention for it is pretty easy. Lactobacillus acidophilus a.k.a. L-Acidophilus

Eat yogurt a couple times a week, I am now Canker free for 3 years and would get them atleast once every two month's. A friend told me about the acidophilus as he had the same problem, he also does not get them anymore.

Don't bother with Yoplait though, you need to get REAL yogurt like Cascade Fresh or any other good brand and make sure it states it has acidophilus (I like Brown Cow myself) Yoplait is loaded with HFCS it's basically a candy yogurt to trick weight watchers women into thinking they are dieting right.


Also that Kanka stuff.. it's a decent pain relief but it's just pain relief, it will not make them go away nor does it last long enough.

I would rather get beaten with a Louisville Slugger than have a single canker sore. I have one right now I can hardly brush my teeth near it because it is pure pain. I also found out that the cause is sort of unknown, and there really isn't a treatment, except time. Have you guys found any remedies or ways to prevent them?

I used to get them as a kid. Folic acid once a day took care of them.

Edit:
Nutritional deficiencies are another possible cause. Deficiencies in iron, zinc, B12, and folate (folic acid) can contribute to cankers.

Thanks, but I hate yogurt. I will definitely look into the acidophilus though.

I used to not like it much either, thats why I hardly had any. But I have aquired a taste for the good stuff.

Besides it's yogurt or the louisville slugger 😀 😉

My bad you can get it n a supplement[
 
50% Hydrogen peroxide and water mix. Swish 4-6x daily and it'll go away in a few days.

And mosh, I never really thought about it, but I haven't had a canker sore since I switch to Tom's toothpaste / mouthwash. 😀
 
Kanka is good to get rid of the pain, at the expense of experiencing it all in 5 seconds! It puts a protective layer over it too so you don't irritate it more. I get them in places that make no sense though, like under my tongue. My teeth can't reach there!
 
Mofos... I hate them, but haven't gotten one in a whole week. They pop up every few weeks and nothing seems to help them heal faster. They usually come up when I bite the side of my mouth while eating or sleeping. You can try some dry watermelon spray, herbal stuff, that burns like hell when you put it on, but makes it feel better for an hour.
 
i remember someone said that if most of your canker sores stem from tearing (biting), then the instant they accidentally bite the inside of their mouth, they take an icecube and try to freeze that cut immediately (to stop it from developing into a canker sore)

otherwise if your canker sores stem from stress, deficiencies, etc... then 😵
 
Back when my celiac disease was undiagnosed, i used to get them all the time. Now that I'm gluten free for 1 year now, I haven't had one since.
