How do i get rid of a canker sore?


Rate This Answer

Canker sores will normally go away by themselves in 7-10 days. The pain can be minimized through careful diet (eliminate spicy, acidic, or other foods that irritate them) or by the use of over the counter anesthetics. Other remedies include using aloe juice as amouth rinse, rinsing your mouth with salt water, and applying a paste made of baking soda to the sore. You can't stop the ChaCha train.
