So, ever since I started high school, I've been getting canker sores. I've been ignoring them until now... but they're starting to annoy me. I want to know why I keep getting them! My mom says it's PMS, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. Also, they're canker sores, not cold sores. There is a big difference. Any ideas on causes/treatment? Thanks! :3
If you go to a pharmacy, look in the dental and oral health section. Most "Oragel" should help to numb the pain and help to make the sores smaller. But look around because there may be something made specially for canker sores. Hope this helps!
No idea what causes them.. I usually get them when I bite my lip on accident. I usually just take salt and apply it directly to the canker sore. It's not exactly pain-free, but it sure gets the job done lol.
I actually got canker sores from eating Spicy foods. I put too much hot sauce on a taco for lunch at chipolte.
I get them sometimes and they can be hell. I've heard that a spice called Alum works very well on them. I think they are stress related but can also come from biting yourself on accident or cutting the inside of your mouth somehow.
I get them because of stress, or occasionally from me biting my lip or such. I've found that for me, using mouthwash reduces both the pain and the duration.
