I have found a fail proof way of getting rid of canker sores, all that you need to do is take some toe nail clippers and sterilize them, then carefully take the clippers and clip off the canker sore, you will need to clip off alittle bit of extra skin to get the whole sore, it hurts just for about 10 seconds but the canker is instantly gone and you dont have to deal with it anymore, i have clipped them off both my cheek and my tongue, obviously there are going to be some places you cant reach or really should clip but generally you can get them this way. it may bleed a little but the bleeding goes away fast it is well worth it, not for sissies

I use peroxide but when I do this it creates a white film over the sore and surrounding area. Whats up with that? Any help would be appreciated.

a simple white aspirin tablet will do the trick. place it on the canker sore. it will sting like hell, but it will eventually heal it much quicker. when it feels as though it’s starting to dissolve spit it out. repeat if necessary. What also does the trick and hurts even more is using your tooth brush to brush the white out of the canker sore. that kills the bacteria. it may bleed a little, but it will heal it fast.

I was one of the handful that suffered these sores due to stress,, for almost 16yrs the whole time I was married,, I got divorced and the sore have gone away and never came back.. I tried everything, from iodine,salt poured right on them, peroxide,I saw doctors and cancer specialist, had them burned off and was told they would never come back in that spot, they did come back,, the only relief I found was a product called zylactin, it puts a film over and burns really bad at first but lasts pretty long and at least u can eat,drink and talk..

There are these “Canker Cover” disc like things that work like a miracle! They adhere to the canker sore itself and seal them and penetrate them with nutrients that cause them to shrink considerably if not disappear completely in 24 hours. I didn’t think they would work that well but I was in pain and desperate. I wore mine to bed and slept with them on…I had a mouthful of the beasts…they next morning…most of them were gone and the few that were left looked like the end of week two in the healing process.

I was amazed and thrilled! I bought these at CVS in the same section with all the other canker stuff that doesn’t work. Word of warning…they hurt like I can’t explain at the first application. I had to punch a pillow and squeeze my fists to endure it…but then…the soothing starts! Worth the pain!

I have a 2 really big ones right now in the front portion of my mouth positioned perfectly so my bottom teeth scrape them all day long. I’ve been getting them since i was 5 (now 29)and although there is no cure I have tried taking a q-tip and dipping it into Hydrogen Peroxide and applying it right to the sore.

It hurts like hell at first, especially if you rub it on there, but actually, our brains naturally release endorphins in our bloodstreams and the sore is numb afterwards for about 1/2 hour. Its really not that bad after you do it a couple times. Other than that, all the creams at the store turn white and make it look as though I’m frothing at the mouth~very unattractive!

alum works… it helps draw fluid from the canker and hep it heal. It will burn like crazy for a few minutes. Repeat once or twice a day…. and GONE. You can find it in the spice section

A warm rinse with salt water will help reduce the sore, and soothe it at the same time. In between rinses, dab a little oragel on it to take the pain away.
