Poor victim Sarah -please feel sorry for her and lift her up.
Don't forget to tell her how brave she is and how she doesn't have to apologize for complaining. After all, people are dying, as is my intelligence from watching this.
I'm only here to say, if you have canker sores change your toothpaste.
I've been suffering from them for most of my life until I discovered they are mainly caused by the SLS in common toothpaste (sodium lauryl sulfate).
Use one that instead has sodium fluoride and you're good. (Sensodyne is a good brand)
Yes! Also acidic foods (yes coffee is acidic) and cola as well as any lemonade, spicy food, strawberries etc hurt and can make cankers worse. Do not drink coffee or cola when you have cankers. Rinse /gargle with warm salt water several times a day and they heal very quickly. Rinse your mouth after eating acidic foods too if you can’t resist.
trigger warning eating disorders A lot of medication’s can cause cankers, as well as stress, and I remember having cankers all the time when I was suffering from ED (bulimia) even after rinsing and brushing right afterward.
Also, having someone in the dental field in my family I will say get screened for cancer at your dentist appointments and know the signs of oral cancers.
I also wanted to add that, although I have never had any type of injections, my friends who get lip injections have complained about getting cankers, and I know one time when I was using crest white strips. I was getting cankers all the time with white strips and didn’t make that connection. They are extremely painful, and I don’t wish pain on anybody. Honestly gargling with warm salt water helps so much!
