how to cure mouth ulsers?

Answer 1

Trick 'em with a wet tea bag. Several experts, among them Ohio dermatologist Jerome Z. Litt, M.D., recommend applying a wet, black tea bag to the ulcer. Black tea contains tannin, an astringent that "may pleasantly surprise you" with its pain-relieving ability, he says. Tanac is an OTC medication that contains tannin.

Wash your mouth out. Dilute 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide in a glass of water and swish it around in your mouth to disinfect the sore and speed healing, says Dr. Goepp. New Jersey registered dietitian Beverly D'Asaro has found her clients with cancer who get canker sores are helped by the mouthwash Folamint. It contains no stinging alcohol, but does contain healing aloe vera, folate, zinc, and vitamin C.

Attack with alum. Alum is the active ingredient in a styptic pencil, which your mother may have told you to dab on a sore that is just getting going. Alum is an antiseptic and pain reliever that can prevent the infection from getting worse, say doctors, but not truly abort a canker sore.

Get creative with Mylanta. Don't swallow your Mylanta or milk of magnesia. Instead, swish it around your mouth and allow it to protectively coat the sore. It may also have some antibacterial effect, Dr. Goepp says.

Give goldenseal a seal of approval. Make a strong tea of goldenseal root (available at health food stores) and use it as a mouthwash. Or you can make a paste of it and apply it directly. "It's antiseptic and astringent and is probably modestly effective," Dr. Tyler says.

Avoid irritation. Coffee, spices, citrus fruit, nuts high in the amino acid arginine (especially walnuts), chocolate, and strawberries irritate canker sores and cause them in some people. "If you get canker sores, you probably know darn well what you should stay away from," Dr. Goepp says. You probably already know, too, to brush your teeth carefully.

Try yogurt each day. Dr. Litt says that eating 4 tablespoons of unflavored yogurt a day might help prevent canker sores by sending in helpful bacteria to fight off those dirty mouth bacteria. Look for yogurt that contains active cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Be all ears. "You're going to laugh when I tell you the typical Hoosier home remedy," says Dr. Tyler. Just take a little earwax from your ear and apply it to the canker sore. It's said to be a sure cure. It may have some antiseptic value, and it may protect the sore."

Be victorious with vitamins. Virginia dentist Craig Zunka, D.D.S., president of the Holistic Dental Association, recommends you squeeze vitamin E oil from a capsule onto your canker sore. Repeat several times a day to keep the tissue well-oiled. "And at the first tingle of a canker sore," he says, take 500 milligrams of vitamin C with bioflavornoids three times a day for the next three days

Answer 2

In 8 oz. water add hydrogen peroxide 1 teaspoon, baking soda 1 teaspoon and a dash of salt. Rinse mouth and then spit into sink or receptable of some sort 3 or 4 times a day. Cover water and put in refrig. This will keep your mouth clean. ---------then you could put a dab of MOM or maalox or equivalent on mouth sore. No real hot foods., commom sense.

Answer 3

Peroxyl mouth rinse works pretty well.
Also, take a good multivitamin and a B50 complex capsule daily until the ulcers resolve; then continue with the multivitamin.
You may want to checked to see if you lack iron; iron deficiencies have been associated with canker sores. I would not take iron tablets unless a health practitioner advised me to do so.
