Canker sores are shallow wounds inside the mouth
(cheeks, tongue, gums, etc) and are
bacterial. They aren't contagious, and are completely different than from cold sores! Cold sores are
VIRUSES that
ARE contagious! They only appear
OUTSIDE of the mouth as well.
Canker sores are painful.
They last from about one to two weeks. If any more, you should seek a doctor.
Canker sores are commonly formed due to
STRESS! I usually get them once or twice a month, around that "time of the month". Sad but true.
You can also get them from:
*Wearing braces
*Eating spicy foods
*Eating acidic fruits/foods
*Eating a sharp chip lol
*STRESS!!
When I get canker sores, the pain is unbearable. I have heard of homemade remedies to help,
salt water, but it doesn't alleviate the pain any better than this stuff that i'm about to show you guys!
It's called,
Colgate Peroxyl Antiseptic Oral Cleanser! You can buy this stuff at Walmart, Walgreens, drugstore etc. etc. I bought it at Walmart for $9.25! It's actually more expensive at Walgreens ($11.00)!!

Anyway - this stuff helps heal the sore faster and alleviates me from the pain. The canker sore usually disappears within 3 to 4 days! And there are no CURES for canker sores you guys!! So this really does help me a lot. It washes most of the bacteria away from my mouth.
HOW TO USE:
*Pour some liquid into the cap
*Gargle for 1 to 2 mins
*Spit it all out (don't SWALLOW!!)
*Do this 2-3 times a day!
This stuff works and tastes just like a mouth wash. It doesn't taste bad at all, the minty flavor remidns me of a brand of gum. lol!

Point of this post is....save yourself the 2 weeks of pain, and go out and buy yourself some Peroxyl! Thank you Jared (friend of mine) for introducing me to this amazing stuff!
