Canker Sore Relief


Canker Sore Relief - Rest Can Help
When you have a canker sore, it's tough to think of anything else, all you can think of is finding the
quickest canker sore relief possible. No matter what you try, it's important to remember that
everyone is different and some people will have great success with one method while other's won't
experience any relief from that method at all. So, the point is that you have to keep looking until you
find the relief you want and need.
Many people recommend using magnesium hydroxide as an effective relief to canker sores. To
make this remedy al l you do is to take a magnesium tablet and let it dissolve in a glass of water. Sip
the water and hold it and swirl it around the inside of your mouth for several minutes. Don't swallow
it. Since you're trying to get some canker sore relief and not cure an upset stomach, you don't need
to swallow it. Doing this throughout your day, up to six times during the day, can provide some
relief. Just keep doing it until the canker sore pain has gone away.
There are also many over the counter remedies that can help relieve some of the pain. These
medicines can not only relieve some of the pain they can also help speed up the healing process, and
hey, who wouldn't want that? The sooner you use these topical gels on the canker sore, the sooner it
will heal so if you're prone to getting canker sores often have a gel product on hand so you can deal
with the canker right away.
Using a salt water mixture or mouthwash to rinse out your mouth can also help most people. By
keeping the sore clean you can help it heal more quickly. Using mouthwash or a salt water solution
can be pretty painful but if it helps the healing process it might be worth a little bit of sting.
Using vitamin and mineral supplements might also help clear up the canker sore more quickly.
Sometimes bad nutrition can lead to the formation of canker sores so providing your body with the
proper nutrients might help clear things up more quickly. If you suffer from a lot of canker sores
you may help keep them at bay by simply taking a vitamin B12 supplement every day.
Other things you can do to prevent recurring canker sores can be as simple as avoiding spicy or
acidic foods. Not eating a lot of 'rough' foods might also help decrease the number of canker sores
you get. Make sure you keep your mouth clean by brushing and flossing frequently.
And of course, never underestimate the importance of getting enough rest and trying to keep your
stress level to a minimum. These things will always help you stay healthier in general.
By following some simple day to day lifestyle changes you can dramatically reduce the number of
canker sore outbreaks you have to suffer through. When you do get a canker sore the best canker
sore relief you can do is to start immediately treating the affected area.

Canker Sore Relief


Canker Sore Remedies - Avoid Certain Foods
If you have canker sores you will definitely be looking around for effective canker sore remedies.
Canker sores can be very painful and may be triggered by certain foods, stress, or injury to the inside
of your mouth.
Foods that are acidic and can trigger a canker sore are foods like lemons, oranges, pineapples, figs,
apples, tomatoes or strawberries. Other causes may be dental problems like a sharp tooth or
ill-fitting dentures. Sometimes the friction from braces can cause an outbreak, also. Acidic juices
and carbonated drinks can also contribute to the formation or exacerbation of canker sores.
There are two types of canker sores, simple and complex. Simple canker sores are caused by the
foods or dental problems discussed above. Complex canker sores are usually caused by some
underlying medical condition that causes immune system depletion like Celiac disease or Crohn's.
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies play a major role in the development of canker sores.
Some people may think that canker sores and cold sores are one and the same. This is not true. Cold
sores are caused by a virus and develop on the outside of the mouth. canker sores develop on the
inside of the mouth. Though canker sores and cold sores can be equally as painful, they are not the
same thing and both require different treatment.
If you have a painful sore or sores in your mouth, feel a burning sensation or rough spot develop
before the sores appear, have a low grade fever, swollen lymph glands or feel sluggish, you may be
fairly certain you have canker sores.
When you have an active canker sore you will need to steer clear of the types of foods we discussed
earlier because they will not only cause you pain when you eat them but they may even make your
condition worse.
If the sores do not start to heal on their own in a few days or you cannot eat or drink, you should not
hesitate to see your dentist to receive canker sore remedies. You will also want to do yourself a favor
and get a toothbrush with a soft bristle. Keeping your mouth clean is a good way to help the canker
sores heal up quicker.
Some other symptoms that should prompt you to see your dentist are unusually large sores, sores
that spread, sores that last more than three weeks, sores that cause severe pain, or you have a high
fever.
There is no cure and canker sores can happen to anyone but with care and learning to avoid certain
acidic or even spicy foods you may be able to reduce their frequency and severity. If the pain is too
severe your doctor or dentist should be willing to prescribe you with a pain med that is effective in
reducing the amount of pain you are feeling.
Over the counter canker sore remedies are available and may help with the healing of your canker
sores. Over the counter pain medications may also help so you won't need to ask for a prescription
from your doctor or dentist.

Canker Sore Relief


Canker Sore Vs Cold Sore - Inside Or Outside
Canker sore vs Cold sore, what is the difference? Well, to start a cold sore, also called a fever
blister, is caused by the herpes simplex virus. Over half of the population has this virus in their
system (this isn't the same virus as the one that causes genital herpes). This virus can stay dormant
the majority of the time. Often times it will flare up and lead to a cold sore in times where your
immune system is compromised such as during times of extreme stress or when you are fighting off
other sicknesses.
Cold sores usually form on the outside of the mouth. An outbreak will last around 2 weeks in most
cases, though there are some things that can be done to shorten the time length. Cold sores are
extremely contagious so you have to be very careful not to come into contact with anyone else while
you have an outbreak.
No kissing, no sharing of eating utensils, toothbrushes, toothpaste, wash clothes, towels, razors, etc.
Make sure you wash your hands frequently and don't forget you can pass it on to yourself as well.
You can cause other outbreaks by touching the cold sore and then rubbing our eyes, for example.
Using supplements as well as some herbal remedies can help either prevent an outbreak or at least
help it heal more quickly. Tea tree oil, L-lysine, lemon balms, are just a few of the things that people
have reported have helped them avoid, or at least shorten, an outbreak.
A canker sore, on the other hand, is a painful sore that usually occurs inside the mouth and cheek.
These open sores are very painful and will start off as a small 'pimple' then form into a blister. These
sores are not caused by a virus, like cold sores are, but rather from bacteria - this is the main
distinction when it comes to canker sore vs cold sore.
A canker sore will take about 14 days to heal also. These sores will often leave a scar, though since
it's on the inside of your mouth it's not like it's going to be disfiguring. Most people will get canker
sores during their pre teen and teenage years. The frequency will vary greatly from one person to the
next. some people may be plagued by them virtually one right after another, while others may only
get one a year. all of this will depend on your personal habits as well as your immune system. Some
people just seem to be more susceptible to some things than others.
Another significant difference between canker sores and cold sores is that canker sores aren't
contagious and cold sores are extremely contagious. You don't have to take any special precautions
while you have a canker sore to not pass them on to to others like you would with a cold sore.
Sometimes, frequent canker sore outbreaks can be a sign of some more serious underlying
conditions so if you get them frequently you may want to talk to your doctor. Now that you know
the difference between canker sore vs cold sore, you'll have a better idea of just which of these nasty
little things is making you suffer the next time around.
