No! 

     Just like the common cold, canker sores cannot be cured.  Recurrences are common, especially in those lacking the proper nutritional building blocks. There may be no true "cure", but Canker Free can help provide the essential nutrients to help the body prevent future canker sores.  Not to mention help the body heal an existing canker sore in as little as 48 hours!


Free Canker Sore Information

     This website has in depth information about all aspects of canker sores, also called mouth ulcers, oral ulcers, aphthous stomatitis, ulcerative stomatitis and apthae.  Pictures of canker sores, causes of canker sores, treatments for canker sores, it's all here!

 

Who gets canker sores and how long do they last?


     Canker sores can affect people from all walks of life, but are more prevalent in women.  Most people have their first experience with a canker sore between the ages of 10 and 40.   It is believed that a little over 50% of humans get them.  Canker Sores normally last between 7-21 days, and recurrences are very common and painful. 


What do canker sores look like and where do they form?


     Canker Sores are small irritating ulcers about 1mm-2mm across, with a red outline and yellowish, grayish and or/ white centers. Occasionally a canker sore can get as large or larger than 1 centimeter, but this is very rare.  See picture below for an illustration.

What Causes a Canker Sore?


Vitamin Deficiencies

     Specifically low levels of B1, B2, B6, B12, iron, folic acid, L-Lysine and vitamin-C.  This can be helped through supplementation with Canker Free. 

Trauma to the Mouth

     This can be caused by something as simple as a toothbrush, dentures or braces.  Any small abrasion or sore inside the mouth can turn into a canker sore.  The initial sore caused by the trauma is not a canker sore until it becomes infected.  Canker Free helps speed the healing process and assists in preventing the wound from forming into a canker sore.

Stress

     Stress seems to affect every facet of our lives, and canker sores are no exception.  Canker sores have been closely linked to prolonged and/or intense stress.  The experts say that simply avoiding stress can help canker sore outbreaks.

Toothpaste containing SLS

     Most toothpastes on the market contain a substance called SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) This substance is known to cause and inflame canker sores by attacking the mucous membranes in the mouth.  If your toothpaste contains SLS, we recommend you stop using it now; even toothpastes labeled "natural" usually contain SLS.  Baking soda and SLS free toothpastes are good alternatives.

Other Treatments for Canker Sores


     There are many treatments available to help with canker sores.  Many lessen the pain temporarily, but do not necessarily get rid of the problem.

Cautery agents:

     Chemicals like silver nitrate, sulfuric acid, and dichloroacetic acid are used in  a process called cauterization.  The word cauterization comes from the Greek word for "branding iron". 

     Cauterization involves using chemicals to burn the canker sore and create a temporary scab to protect the sore from infection.  Only a doctor should perform this procedure because improper self-administration of silver nitrate could result in losing mouth parts (like your tongue)! 

     In fact, doctors are reluctant to even prescribe silver nitrate (distributed on wooden applicators) for fear of an accident or abuse. 

     The problem with these procedures is the scab that is created from burning the sore has a tendency to fall off in a few hours!  Why would you burn your mouth just to form a scab that falls off in your mouth?

Notice: 

     Many products that claim to produce a "liquid bandage" are really cautery agents, check the active ingredients!

     You don't need to burn your mouth to get relief!  Canker Free's all natural components internally and quickly help heal your mouth!

          Topical Pain Killers:

     There are several products on the market that deal specifically with the pain of a canker sore.  These products usually contain some form of benzocaine.  While these can substantially soothe the pain of a canker sore, they do not have a pleasant taste, and  do not solve the problem.  Do you really want to keep a bottle of liquid with you at all times?  This kind of pain relief is only temporary! You may wish to use these for pain, but try Canker Free to safely and quickly help rid your mouth of painful canker sores.

           Steroids:

     Steroids can only be obtained with a doctor's or dentist's prescription.  Keep the cost of the doctor's visit and the prescription  in mind.  One visit to the doctor for canker sore could get very expensive!  Furthermore, steroids have many potential negative health side effects, and aren't always effective.

Antibiotics:

     Antibiotics such as Tetracycline may be prescribed by a doctor to help heal a canker sore.  The problem with this is once again cost and effectiveness.  A 30 count bottle of Tetracycline can run you around $80.00 if you purchase over the internet.  This does not even count the cost of either a doctor's visit or an online consultation!

     Another thing to keep in mind with antibiotics like Tetracycline is safety.  An expired bottle of tetracycline can cause severe kidney damage.  Furthermore, tetracycline has been found to cause permanent stains and discoloration of teeth in some people!

     Canker Free is 100% safe, natural and effective.  Not to mention that is also cost a fraction of the price of tetracycline.

        Dietary Changes:

First, this involves seeing if you have any food allergies.  This can be done either by having a blood test done or trying an "elimination diet".  Experts say you should avoid the following types of food when possible while a canker sore heals:

  • Citrus Fruits

  • Refined and/or processed foods

  • Coffee

  • Sugar

  • Candy

  • Chewing Gum

  • Some grain foods

  • Some Spicy Foods

  • Acidic beverages like soda

  • Lozenges with sugar

That  sounds like a lot "not to swallow" .  With Canker Free you can still eat the foods you love and be Canker Free!

 

DO EAT:

  • yogurt
  • cottage cheese
  • buttermilk
  • kefir
  • other foods containing acidophilus

 

Canker Free already contains Acidophilus, which helps fight bad bacteria in the mouth by replacing it with good bacteria.

         Pregnancy:

     While we don't recommend getting pregnant as a means of curing canker sores, studies have shown that canker sore sufferers often  experience no problems during pregnancy.  Scientists aren't exactly sure why, but it is believed that hormone levels may play a key role.

          Smoking:

     There has been much debate whether smoking is a viable means of stopping canker sores.  There are many people, however, who swear that smoking stops their canker sores, but there is no scientific evidence to back this up.   It is believed possibly that smoking dries the mouth, and therefore bacteria cannot grow as easily.  Keep in mind this is only a theory and has not been proven.  Smoking is obviously not recommended as a legitimate remedy.

     Conversely, smoking has also been listed as a cause of canker sores.  This is believed to be a result of damage done to the mouth by smoking.  This is also only a theory.
