I have 6 painful canker sores! what should i do?

Frequency: How often do you get canker sores? If you think about it, do the canker sores come after eating certain foods, during stressful times, or while you have an infection. Some people find strawberries or tomatoes cause canker sores. If stress brings them on, exercise, rest and relaxation techniques help. For relief, try topical anesthesia. If severe, ask your dentist for viscous lidocaine.

Call your DDS: Your dds can prescribe a topical steroid rinse or salve that may help soothe this problem. In the interim go to a pharmacy and purchase some baby teething gels that have some anesthetic in it to numb the areas temporarily.
