If you are struggling with a painful mouth because of mouth ulcers or canker sores then you'll be looking for fast relief - no doubt about that. But are there any remedies that really do work more quickly than others?
Some people are convinced that the old ways are best and go with baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, lime and lemon juice .... and countless other similar old fashioned mouth ulcer home remedies.
Others choose the modern direction and buy gel patches to cover the sore, hydrogen peroxide or L-lysine rinses.
Are any of these methods really any quicker than the others?
The true answer is almost certainly not. But it's equally true that we are all individuals and some of the canker sore treatments available will work well for you - while others simply don't seem to do the job.
The main message is to experiment a bit and figure out what works best for your own needs.
Happy hunting .... !
