Canker sores (apthous ulcers) develop inside the mouth as small painful white or grey sores that have a red border. Their exact cause is uncertain but some experts believe that immune system problems, stress, bacteria or viruses may be involved. In some cases, trauma to the mouth’s soft tissues can cause a canker sore. Canker sores usually heal on their own after one or two weeks. Over-the-counter topical anesthetics and antimicrobial mouthwashes may provide temporary relief. Stay away from hot, spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the sore. My recommended product for the relief of these sores has always been AMOSAN. While this product is no longer being manufactured, Advance Dental Health Supplies stocks the new generic version of this product, Oral Wound Cleanser, by Life Brand. advancedental.au/life-brand-oral-wound-cleanser-generic-oral-amosan-sachets-p-48.html
