I get a lot of larger canker sores throughout my mouth often. i generally have about 3-6 at once. what can i do to stop this?

Canker sores: are not pleasant and can be very painful. Canker sore is the most common oral lesions. Individual ulcers typically last 1-2 weeks. The condition is idiopathic (the cause is not known) and recurrent aphthous ulcers are usually self-limiting. Your dentist may prescribe an antimicrobial mouth rinse corticosteroid ointment to control the pain and irritation.

Excellent Question: But one that is difficult to answer. As the below article states, the precise cause of canker sores remains unclear, though researchers suspect that a combination of several factors contributes to outbreaks. They may be caused by several different triggers or even certain conditions and diseases. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/canker-sore/basics/causes/con-20021262

Canker sores: Try swish and spit with prescription Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) or 1/2 strength H2O2 mixed with H2O. Oragel can alleviate pain temporarily. Sometimes viscous lidocaine on a q-tip can be prescribed with caution and a corticosteroid ointment. Might be good to see your dentist for help. Take a multivitamin with iron, zinc, B12, folic acid.
