I have about 5 canker sores on the insides of my cheeks and on my gums and I was wondering what are the best remedies for them? I want to enjoy my food instead of three rounds of torture.

Hi. I use to get canker sores all the time as a child. I had to get them burned out by the doctor. Oh boy did that hurt. Now, the dentist actually has a medicine that doesn't burn, I forget what it is called. It is kind of like a gel/cream that gums up as it gets wet and helps them to go away quickly and makes it not hurt. See your dentist as he/she should know what this is.

You should check for food allergies to see if those are causing them: Here is some information and also some home remedies for them if you cannot see your dentist:

Home Remedy For Canker Sore

Canker sores (aphthous stomatitis) also known as mouth ulcers, are shallow, painful sores on the inside of the lips, tongue, the inside of the cheeks, or on the gums. Canker sores are most common among teenagers and people in their twenties. They begin as small, reddish swellings. Then they burst, and the ruptured sores are covered with a white or yellow membrane. The edges of the sores are still red, and look like a painful red halo.
It is suspected that having too much acidity in your stomach, stress, and food allergies are major causes of canker sores. You may want to have allergy tests done or test yourself by eliminating the suspected foods from your diet for a few weeks, then reintroduce them one at a time and see which one triggers a canker.

Canker sores differ from cold sores in that they occur in the soft tissues of your mouth and aren't contagious. Conversely, cold sores rarely develop in the soft tissues of your mouth and are extremely contagious because they're caused by the herpes virus. Without a canker sore remedy, canker sores can take from 1-3 weeks to heal.

Some Effective home Remedies are:
Ingredients: Baking soda
Instructions: For canker sore , mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1/2 cup of warm water. Use this mixture as a mouthwash 3-6 times a day (it may sting), especially after meals and before going to bed. note: baking soda contains high levels of sodium, rinse your mouth thoroughly if sodium intake is a concern.

Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions: Mix 1/2 cup of warm water, Swish around in mouth for 30-60 seconds 2 times a day and your canker sore will go away quickly!

Ingredients: Onion
Instructions: Apply raw onion on sore

Ingredients: Salt water
Instructions: Mix 2 tablespoon of salt in 1 glass of warm water. Use this as a mouth rinse 3-4 times a day. The salt will draw fluid from the canker helping it to heal more quickly.

Ingredients: Baking soda
Instructions: Make a paste of baking soda and apply directly to the sore (may sting a bit).

Ingredients: Aloe Vera Gel
Instructions: Apply 2 tablespoon of Aloe vera gel to canker sore. Repeat 3 times a day.

I got diagnosed with genital herpes (type 2) about three yrs ago, whilst I was still attending college and had a dumb one-night stand. I realize lots of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date other men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone who has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/4RrrL everything got better.

Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This system provided the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others by sharing this story.

Gargle with warm saltwater (as hot as you can take it) a few times a day and before bed. It sounds like it might hurt, but it doesn't, my dentist told me to do it. It's really soothing and makes cold sores go away in like the 3rd of the time. Good luck, feel better!

avoid high acidic foods.
you can try putting some hydrogen peroxide/water solution (a 1:1 mix) on a cotton swab (q-tip) and press that one each sore, followed later in the day with a bit of milk of magnesia on each sore.
you can also try putting a 'dot' of alum on each sore. it will taste terrible for a bit and sting a little, but after a couple minutes relief will set in.
you may also want to talk to your physician about getting some medication to prevent outbreaks (it doesn't cure, just slows symptoms) as it may be a herpes sore.

antacid. Canker sores can be caused by an upset stomach. Take liquid antacid and swish it around your mouth before you swallow it.
