Types of Canker Sore Treatment



It may not be a medical emergency, but finding a canker sore treatment can feel like one when you are in that kind of pain and discomfort. Those irritating little spots on the inside of the mouth can make your life miserable if left untreated. They aren't necessarily worth the bother of a doctor's appointment, but they are worth taking the time to treat at home. Over the years, there have been all kinds of remedies and effective treatments invented to limit the damage and length of time canker sores are allowed to hang around. Take a look at a few and see if you can find a solution for your canker sore problem.

One of the fastest treatments for canker sores is a water and salt rinse. The recommended ratio isn't very high. Most home canker sore sufferers who use this canker sore treatment suggest a half a teaspoon of salt to eight ounces of water. Mix the solution well and rinse around your mouth for 30 seconds. The idea is to clean and sterilize the area and the sores to promote healing. Be forewarned however, this solution is very likely to sting.

Another canker sore treatment you can try is to mix an anti acid liquid medicine with a diphenhydramine medication. The mixture here consists of a tablespoon or two of the anti acid and half a teaspoon of the Benadryl type medicine. Like the salt solution, swish around your mouth. The goal here is to coat the sores and provide relief from the discomfort.

You already know you can use calamine lotion on all kinds of skin irritations like bug bites and poison ivy. This canker sore treatment should be used carefully. Dry the affected area of the mouth and apply the calamine with a clean cotton swab. Be careful to swallow as little of the lotion as possible. It will help to relieve the pain and reduce irritation.

If you are a parent you probably already have experience with topical oral treatments. They are very effective for teething babies. As a canker sore treatment, they work in the same way. These products numb the area and provide relief from the painful burning that goes along with canker sores.

Surely one of the above mentioned canker sore treatments will be helpful to you. Remember to use a good dental product like OraMD® to further enhance your oral health. With things like canker sores, cold sores, and other mouth infections, early treatment is most effective.
