POLL: Do you use Listerine to kill your canker sores?

[Lifer]

It stings like hell for 30 seconds, but then after awhile, it gets it numb.
I notice they go away faster too.

Alcohol helps dry them out faster.

Sounds like a lubricant.

i use campophenique...sometimes i'll gargle with listerine first then put the ointment on...it works fast...couple of days and i'm back to eating salty, sour and hot foods :-D

Some hard alcohol and a scalpel are all I need.

I just rub a lot of salt on it, then let it disolve, twice and then I swish salt water around in my mouth for a while.

tried that once. hurt like a bitch, never again will i do that.

Theres also this medication cream in a tube called anbesol that works.

Isopropyl alcohol on a cloth or tissue. Put it in your mouth overnight on the sore. Wake up next day, its gone.

No. I'll use Medicated Blistex (lip balm) iff I don't have kanka or another OTC canker sore pain reliever. Blistex has the same effect, hurts like hell for a few seconds then it's numb for quite a while. But the canker sore med stuff lasts longer--but has a slightly worse taste (both are awful).

Its a paste and works great...

 

[Linux23]

do you guys use ben-GAY???


okay, okay - bad joke.

 

[Kaervak]

No I use listerine to fight off home intruders.

 

[shiner]

Sort of....I brush the sore until it bleeds, then rinse with saltwater, after that I soak a q-tip in Listerine and dab it on the canker sore.....gone the next day.

It's a small ulcer on the inside of your mouth (it's not a cold sore). They last a few days and can hurt a lot.

I just hit it with hydrogen peroxide a few times and then it'll usually be gone.
