The Complete Solution for canker sores and other sores in the mouthMaximum-strength pain medication (benzocaine) for fast temporary pain reliefForms a long-lasting barrier to protect sores from further irritationIntegrated applicator allows for accurate, mess-free applicationThe ADA’s (American Dental Association’s) Acceptance of Kank-A is based on its effectiveness for temporary relief of pain due to mouth sores, when used as directed
Try Kanka by Blistex. Contains a 20% benzocaine solution, and it will form a little film over the ulcer, protecting it from irritation for a couple of hours.
The downside is that during application, it will feel as if an ice pick is piercing your cheek.
Have you ever used numbing agents? I occasionally get large canker sores, and I use Kanka on them. The stuff is basically the topical numbing agent that dentists use.
It doesn't actually make the sores go away faster, but they don't hurt nearly as much for a few hours. As in, I can actually eat and not worry about it.
It takes a bit of practice to get the stuff in the right place only and not numb your entire mouth though.
Yes they can be on your gums.
I'm a dental student and always keep my ears open for any cures or treatments for canker sores because I also suffer from them. As far as I know there aren't any treatments that will make them go away besides keeping them clean and giving them 5-7 days to heal.
"Canker-X" is a live saver or I've heard "Kanka" works even better. I find that the pain flares up every couple hours and I just put this on and it makes it bearable.
