\"\"THE EXACT CAUSE<\/strong> of canker sores is unknown. What we do<\/em> know is that canker sores can be extremely bothersome! By better understanding some of the possible causes\u2014and some treatment options\u2014we hope to reduce the irritation canker sores may cause you.<\/p>\n

Possible Canker Sore Causes <\/strong><\/h3>\n

These non-contagious lesions that appear on your gums, lips, cheeks, and the roof of your mouth may be caused by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • irritation (from harsh brushing, braces, biting the inside of your mouth, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • high stress levels<\/li>\n
  • bacterial infections<\/li>\n
  • improper nutrition and\/or vitamin deficiencies<\/li>\n
  • immune system issues<\/li>\n
  • food allergies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Tips For Reducing Canker Sore Pain And Duration<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    There\u2019s no cure-all solution for canker sores.<\/strong> But, there are a few things you can do to reduce their painful impact and possibly<\/em> reduce your susceptibility.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • A baking soda or salt water rinse can soothe pain.<\/li>\n
    • A daily dose of Vitamin B12 can reduce sore frequency and duration.<\/li>\n
    • Certain over-the-counter products can help with pain and healing.<\/li>\n
    • Do your best to reduce stress! Exercise may help!<\/li>\n
    • Watch what you eat… Notice if certain foods trigger your canker sores.<\/li>\n
    • Regularly using an antiseptic rinse may help with prevention.<\/li>\n
    • Avoid hot or spicy foods that may further irritate sores.<\/li>\n
    • Check your toothpaste. Some research shows that SLS (an ingredient found in many toothpastes) may aggravate canker sores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
