GlyOxide and peroxide will kill bacteria. But bacteria are part of every healthy mouth.</p> <p>There is another approach, to develop a balanced flora of bacteria in your mouth. I do that by eating yogurt. I eat one large spoonful of Stoneyfield Farms plain lowfat yogurt every day. Their yogurt contains six different microbes plus inulin to help you absorb calcium. It is the most complete yogurt I know of. It is good for everything from the lips to the other end of the food tube: digestion, regularity, etc. I used to have a lot of trouble with canker sores. Have not had one in years. It also helps prevent upper respiratory infections. I have not had a cold all winter. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/canker-sores#post-114 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 16:42:43 +0000 MandyChad1981 114@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>i don't like having canker sores..........they are really sore..........anything i can put on a canker sore </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/canker-sores#post-111 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 20:08:26 +0000 Samantha 111@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>You shouldn't be getting canker sores that regularly. I would tell your dentist about it.</p> <p>Sometimes I get one, not very often, I use something called orajel. Put it on a Q-tip, make sure the canker sore doesn't have spit on it, and then apply the Orajel. The Orajel will make it stings for about 5 seconds, then it numbs it. Apply it at least 3-5 times a day depending on how bad it is.</p> <p>Mouth wash helps dry it up. Putting salt on it gets rid of it too, although it's very painful. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/canker-sores#post-61 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 07:53:52 +0000 dbuchina 61@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>Peroxide does the trick, it's never failed me yet, it even worked on my four year old when she had a canker sore recently - I just put it on a q-tip and applied it a few times through out the day and never heard a peep from her about it after the first day. You are usually low on B12, so that doesn't hurt along with maybe some Chamomile. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/canker-sores#post-39 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 10:39:21 +0000 Ali 39@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I get frequent canker sores and had three the other day. My Mother-in-law said she fights hers with Benzoyl Peroxide--just swish it in your mouth (don't swallow) for a minute or so after brushing. I did it at night and the next morning the 2 small sores were gone and the large one was much smaller. I continued the next day (morning and night) and the last one was gone. She also said that doing this daily helps tartar buildup on your teeth (and after doing it for a year, her dentist was amazed and how little tartar she had). </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/pinworms#post-26 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 17:04:49 +0000 samoya22 26@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I'm going to go ahead and say yes to this, toogood. Pinworms are easily curable, and most treatments for pinworms are available over the counter, but you definitely want to get a doctor's opinion before you start treatment for pinworm. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/pinworms#post-25 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 14:57:10 +0000 Toogood 25@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>Im a 16 year old girl and have recently noticed little white worms... you know.<br /> im extreamly embarresed and was wondering if i need to go 2 a doctors about it.<br /> thanks, </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/canker-sores#post-21 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 20:41:25 +0000 samoya22 21@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the tip, Pengwin.

This cleaning agent can be used for just one canker sore, or many [as a mouthwash]. For one sore, you can put 2-3 drops on it, and hold your mouth open for at least two minutes. For multiple sores, you can put 10-12 drops on the tounge, mix with your saliva and swish around your mouth, especially on the sores.</p> <p><a href="http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i1/Purdypengwin/ugly.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i1/Purdypengwin/ugly.jpg</a> </p>
