ways To Get Rid Of Canker Sores

By Lana Patel

Canker sores are breakages in the flesh inside the mouth. These sores can be very painful especially when you are eating or brushing your teeth.

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.

Prevention of canker sores is the best way to go. Avoid using toothpaste that contains sodium lauryl sulfate. SLS is a compound that can dry out your mouth leaving it more susceptible to canker sores.

Another reason people get canker sores is because of lack of sleep. Lack of sleep builds stress which in turn may cause the canker sores. So to solve this problem, you should sleep regularly.

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 baking soda paste on your canker sore. This can soothe and help the healing of the sore faster. Avoid spicy food which will irritate the canker sore more. Also avoid eating sharp foods which could cause trauma to the canker sores.

Get some yogurt which has acidophilus. Acidophilus helps to speed the recovery time of canker sores by improving your immune system.

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 doctor?s prescription.

You should use several of these techniques together to get rid of canker sores. When you feel the onset of a canker sore coming, do not wait until it becomes full blown. Instead, start combating the canker sore as soon as possible.
