you know, those annoying little sores that you get in your mouth...often caused by eating too many acidy foods or drinking citrus drinks. Any ideas besides baking soda that will make this ailment feel better?

VITAMIN C!!!!!! canker sores are acually a sort of virus believe it or not. If you get canker sores its a sign that you need vitamin C. Canker sores are the worst i HATE THEM! and if i take vitamin C there all gone. I dont remember the last time i got one it works that good! try it also you can wash ur mouthout with salt water. Just put some salt in a cup and garggle with it. hope this helps!

rinse your mouth with warm water that has a spoonful of salt added to it . Do this a few times a day and especially at bed time. Salt won't sting your mouth and It promotes healing and disinfects at the same time

i agree with vitamin c, when i was younger my mother told me to apply vitamin c directly on the canker sore (i used the yummy orange chewable ones), it burned a lot, but it was gone the next day...
