It really depends if it is a canker sore or a cold sore. if it is caused by a virus, there is basically nothing you can do. however if it is because, say you bit your tongue, then swishing with warm salt water can help speed healing.
Do you use a mouthwash with alcohol in it? Those can be too strong and kill even the good bacteria in your mouth causing the bad ones to take over ... just a thought. If you don't use mouthwash, you might consider using some twice a day that does NOT contain alcohol but helps to cleanse your mouth further.
One last thought, if you are perhaps biting your tongue while sleeping, you might try a night guard for your teeth. I press my teeth together repeatedly at night which causes my jaw to ache, having a night guard virtually made it go away. Just another thought to ponder.
Put OrabaseB on them. It is great. It is over-the-counter.
try gargaling with Hydrogen peroxide.
try ambisol, it will numb it and help it go away quicker.
You can try to use toothpaste with baking soda such as Arm & Hammer. I found those worked for me... good luck!
Do you smoke cigarettes or anything? That is usually a cause of them. Us listernine, warm saltwater rinses, and remembrant toungue disinfectant kit, which can be found at any grocery story.
get this stuff called Oral B or Oral Gell. It is nasty but works. You get a q-tip get a little on it put it on the sore and it should go away.
