Look, the bottom line is that health care professionals do not really know what causes canker sores. And if you get them frequently try to pin point if you're doing something different when you get them, like did you eat something specific each time, or are you having a large amount of stress in your life at the time. There really isn't anything you can do to prevent them however. The next time you're at the dentist or doctor ask them about a product called Debactorol. It's a topical remedy that we use in the dental office I work in. It essentially burns off the surface of the canker sore and within minutes patients feel relief. I know it sounds scary, but consider the alternative of living with the painful sore for another week or so. Applying salt directly to the sore also seems to speed healing, although also a bit painful.

try yogurt with live active ensigymes or aphidolphus pills some times that can help with canker sores. plus stay away from too much citrus fruit.

Take vitamin C, or apply the white of an orange directly to the sore--it will actually stay there. Before you know it, it'll be gone.

Don't eat a lot of salty foods and try not to bite your tongue or inside jaw, it will most likely turn in to one too. If you get alot of them see a doctor.
