Lickszz Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Has anyone got any idea what causes these or what is the best way to treat them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidla Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I always get them if I slip while brushing my teeth. They're very painful at times. Salt is supposed to be the best way to treat them, but i've never tried it. Check out http://www.mouthulcers.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Not Brushing well enough is the main cause. or as Sid says cutting your mouth inside. Last time I had one I used a combination of Tyrozets (sp) and Bonjela Worked a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleheed Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I'm a sufferer of the little blighters and have tried most of the remedies from the pharmacies,but the best one is called 'Adcortyl in orbase'.It is pretty disgusting stuff but stick with it,it usually works in a couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Miguel Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Stress can cause them to flare up ( I am under stress at the moment worrying about the Chester v Morecambe game but up to now am OK). The best thing is to mix a hot saline solution (hot as you can stand it with plenty of salt) and swill the offending area. It can work, but as with most things, time's your healer.

It seems nobody actually know for sure what causes them but I think mine was caused while brushing my teeth like you said. I've tried bonjela in the past and it didn't seem to have any effect.

fnkysknky Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I either swill some salt water around for a bit or put salt straight on it - works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Maiden Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I heard once it was down to poor nutrition? Does anyone having any back up for this? My mate once had a mouth full on them and insisted on eating nothing but salt and vineger crisps - got rid of them tho!! *ouch* Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
