Silly question, what can i do for canker sores on my tongue? it seems it dries at night, cuts on the sides, then i get sores. any ideas, thanks :)

Bitten tongue: You may be clenching and/or grinding your teeth during sleep, a condition called bruxism. The tongue can become caught between the upper and lower teeth, especially larger tongues which overlap the lower teeth. A mouth guard will help tremendously with this problem.

Mouthwash: Canker sores on the tongue are hard to treneeat because the tongue moves and can wipe off any salve. Your mouth can become dry at night especially if you are a mouthbreather. Even though these lesions will clear-up on their own within two weeks, they can be painful and affect your speech or eating. You may try a mouthwash with a numbing agent for the pain. Try a dry mouth agent, biotene.
