Laser treatment: I am not aware that these can be completely prevented, however we have had tremendous success treating them with a laser. This can desensitize them and speed up the healing time. In addition, the laser treatment can also help them to not come back in the same spot. Over a few treatments this can significantly lessen the number of outbreaks you have, .

Canker sore cocktail: Rinse for 10 seconds with an equal mixture of maalox stomach medicine, liquid benadryl, (diphenhydramine) and chloroseptic sore throat medicine. Next place a small amount of salt on your finger and hold it against the sore for ten seconds. Repeat 3-4 times a day. If you are prone to canker sores, your dentist can prescribe an anti-viral. Try to eat healthy, include a multivitamin and exercise to lower stress.
