Question: Got braces 3 days ago. How to get rid of canker sores?!?
Got bottom braces on Wed. so 3 days ago. I have a canker sore in my mouth.its white. not that big but it bothers me knowing its there. when will it go away?

Answers:

the best treatment is so rinse three times daily with warm salt water. 1 tablespoon salt per 1 cup water. Also avoid acitic foods like citrus or tomatoes. You can get some wax at the drug store to cover the places where the braces are rubbing your mouth too. GOOD LUCK

I get those all the time even though i don't have braces. It will go away in about 2 to 3 weeks depending on how bad it is. Try gargling salt water, take a Cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide and stick them directly on to the sore every night until it is gone, or try oral gels like Camphoinic or Orajel. To prevent them try to eat a lot of dairy products and take vitamin D pills. Hope I helped :)



If your braces is really bothering it, then put some wax on your braces to keep your braces from disturbing your it. And for your canker sores, just leave it and it'll go away sooner or later. If it really hurts, try eating ice-cream or put an ice in your mouth to numb the feeling.
