Tips on how to cure those pesky canker sores.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Time, Canker sores, baking soda
  1. Step 1

    Canker sores can be caused by a variety of factors such as lauryl sulfate which is found in conventional toothpastes. I don't use conventional toothpaste and I have still gotten canker sores. It is different for each person, but the point is once you get a canker sore what do you do? There are some inexpensive home treatments you can use. This is a remedy that has been know in "home remedy groups" for many years.

  2. Step 2

    Once you notice that you have a canker sore, you will need baking soda and water. Mix the baking soda and water to form a paste.

  3. Step 3

    Apply the past of baking soda and water to the sore.

  4. Step 4

    Let the paste dissolve by it's self.

  5. Step 5

    After the paste has dissolved check if the burning is still there.

  6. Step 6

    If the burning is still there apply the paste again and let it dissolve and repeat until burning is gone (usually no more than 2 to 3 times is needed)

Tips & Warnings
  • Talk to a physician before using this home treatment. People with high blood pressure or in any other may be sensitive to baking soda and might suffer bad side effects from this home treatment and should consult with their physician before using this home treatment.
