Mouth Ulcers

Painful.

That is all.

Yep, i know how you feel, i used to get them a LOT, now they're not as frequent, but it can be over a week of feeling like carp until it's healed

and no, it's not bad hygeine - 23, never had a filling or any form of remedial dentistry, just checkups once a year, until i was 16 or so when he decided it wasn't worth coming in so often so now it's every two years:D

speaking to my dentist he did his dissertation on them and tbh. there's not a lot you can do to get them to heal faster aside from scrupulous cleaning, bonjela will ease the pain but i think i've developed a taste and i end up eating it... :rolleyes:

I get these, for me its stress related. Get some Adcortyl in orabase from your local chemist. Its about ?4 for a small tube but it is brilliant stuff.

Do it now and you will feel 100 times better by Monday I guarantee.

Cheers:-)

I gave myself one yesurday eating some crisps! I use aloclair. It's a little bit pricey but works better than anything else I've tried.

Eat lots of oranges, the vitamin C is meant to be good for warding them off :cool:

Eat oranges, works a treat when I've got one.

i swish my mouth out with corsodyl when i get ulcers, and then keep using it for a few days after.

making up saturated salt solution and applying onto the ulcer with a cotton-bud is painfull, but helps to clear it up too

[markmoto]

Can be caused by sodium laurel sulfate in toothpaste try switching to a natural one from the healthshop worked for me never get any these days ;-)

[xXBADGERXx]

Swill yer yap with warm water and salt solution , does the job , not had one for years .

[kitkat]

Interesting. Might try that.

[Gordon B]

OK, SWMBO been the H and B today and bought Kingfisher Fennel, but this has got Sodium Laurel in it. She says they all did except one which had another Sodium something or other. (Her words, not mine:p)

You got a brand or name please mate of the stuff you use?

Thanks

I feel your pain, i stopped the dreaded weed in Jan, the meds to 'aid stopping' caused me to develop ulders from my inside lip, gums tongue, cheek and throat half way down.

Took 9 weeks on first antibiotics then a 3 daily Betamethasone steroid mouthwash to get rid of them (lost 2 stone too from being unable to eat anything not liquidised for 2 weeks though :))

PS - Just think twice about taking Champix for stopping smoking, read the horror stories of the side effects on the net, having been there i do know its true!

Try melting a small (or huge!) piece of chocolate on the ulcer. Leave it there as long as you can before licking it off. If you lick it off before it works, put more on!

How do you know when it's worked? Dunno. I suppose it's when you've eaten the whole bar of chocolate.

Honestly, it does work. Done it for years.

Hmph a likely story indeed....be honest now, you never had an ulcer in the first place did you :D

[Mrs Blue Pete]

Well...ermmm...I might have been known to claim ulcers to get a sympathy bar of chocolate... ;)

But, honestly, it really does work!

in that case definitely worth a try :D

[Speedy Claire]

try gargling with an aspirin for the pain

[missyburd]

a friend of mine gargles with TCP all the time, especially when she can feel a cold coming on. Would have thought it would be good for warding off little nasties in the mouth too though :alien:
