Hot salt water mouth washes. Two heaped teaspoons of salt to one mug of hot, not boiling, water. Repeat this 3 times a day. It will sting a little but it does work after a couple of days your mouth ulcers will begin to heal.

Try Pyralvex, you paint it on with a little brush and the ulcer vanishes in a day, its brilliant stuff! Don't use Bongela because it is useless! Ulcers are often caused by stress, at least thats how I get mine, so try and cut out stressful situations from your life.

Dont use salt water, take a pinch of straight salt and put it directly on it. Do this twice a day for 2 days. If it doesnt go away, its not an ulcer.

Think you should see your GP...not to scare you but there was a bloke on This Morning a few weeks ago who had ulcers in his mouth that didn't heal and it turned out he had tongue cancer so better to get it checked out.

first i would go to the doctor get them checked out properly in case it is a sign of something far worse then you could try
1 antiseptic mouthwash the chemists keep it behind the counter and it is only about 80p per bottle gargle with that for a few days
2 adcortyl in orabase i(check spelling) it is a paste that stays on to your gums and drys ulcers up it works really well behind counter in chemist again

May sound daft but try changing your toothpaste, I used to get bad ulcers but my Dentist told me to try a gel paste and not ones with white in them, he did explain why but I can't remember, worked a treat though.

If u are sophisticated and like nice tasting stuff, go for corsodyl. I have tried it, and it works really well, but it can cost u a bit. Hydrogen peroxide also can heal your gums. it is very cheap. Even alum can do the trick....Caution....dilute the peroxide and the alum to use as mouthwash....they kill a looooooooooot of germs. (Tested and tried.)....proven!

I use (the doctors won't even tell you about this age old product on the market) Hydrogen Peroxide. Cheap, and effective. It even is listed on the side of the bottle for daily use. It is amazing how many germs I fizz out of my mouth daily. It isn't just for minor cuts and injuries.

take a good multi vitamin..lots of food with vitamin c and
rinse mouth daily with salt water..hot as you can stand
pack the sores with alum..it helps and promotes the healing
alum is used to make dill pickels..it works
