Orabase for pain: Colgate orabase with Benzocaine (so long as you are not allergic) works reasonably well for mild symptoms. It is worth trying. If not successful, see your dentist. Painless laser treatment is available. Also-- people that get canker sores frequently benefit from toothpaste that does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate (such as fluoridex without sls.

Canker sore remedies: Nothing cures canker sores or prevents recurrence. There are, however, ways to ease discomfort during the 3-4 days when the sores are painful and also prevent infection. To prevent discomfort, try to avoid irritation of abrasive or spicy foods and use care not to irritate the sore while brushing your teeth. A gel such as benozocaine can also be used for pain management.
