If you're able to suffer through 10 minutes of intense pain, I've had luck with these: Dentek Canker Covers

They're like little pills that you have to hold firmly in place against a dry ulcer for like 10-15 minutes until it adheres to it. (The instructions say 20 seconds - it's a lie) Make sure it doesn't get stuck to your finger or Qtip or whatever you're using to hold it in place. Make sure it doesn't slide around on the ulcer. It will eventually stick in place and you can let go. Saliva will then continue to help it adhere and it will begin to swell up into this nasty blob of protective goo that will keep your teeth from rubbing on it and allow at least a moderate amount of mouth-use without pain.

It also seems to speed up the healing process by quite a bit. I used two over two days on a massive one I had a while ago and will definitely use them again at the first sight of my next one. They're a little awkward, but the only thing I've found worth sharing with others. Sick of all the bullshit about anbesol and allum powder or w/e. I feel like people who get ulcers your size just roll their eyes tearfully at such suggestions.

I also bought this for the same ulcer that my first suggestion helped heal: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015X5ZW4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Glad the cheaper option seems to work well enough.

Squigle Enamel Saver Toothpaste (Helps Prevent Canker Sores, Perioral Dermatitis, Bad Breath, Chapped Lips) 2-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009088IN4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_SQb0CbDCT5P5X

Changed my life! I still get them from time to time (of course), but not nearly as often... it's what I use but ultimately any SLS free toothpaste should help!

I had to use opiates to help until I found this. It’s long and soft enough, I need help to apply it and it’s excruciating for a few seconds but it’s a miracle cure.

There is no research behind swallowable capsules. The research only looks at the ingredient administered in a lozenge form or in an oral rinse. I have not found any oral rinses, but I found one lozenge here - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HKLFMFC.

Hope this helps!

Iglu Rapid Relief Gel Mouth Ulcer Treatment, 8g https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MAIOBZU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PRZFDbZ1X75F1

I've only been on it two months, but I swear by this supplement (basically a combo of everything thats ever been recommended for canker sores)

Monoplex Canker Sore Relief

and this ointment / biofilm stuff:

Zilactin-B Long Lasting Mouth Sore Gel

The supplelment seems make them less frequent for me, and the few I've had since taking it have been much smaller and heal in a few days instead of weeks.

The gel (And that specific one, there are a few varieties) is AMAZING. You have to dry the sore, which sucks, and when you apply it its going to burn for about a minute while it dries which is awkward, but then it numbs it, and leaves a film that lasts for 4 up to 8 hours. As long as its intact you can barely tell you have a sore!

Seems some of us are just super susceptible. Not sure how to prevent them, I've cut out so many favorite foods... didn't really seem to help except for chips. I'll never eat potato chip again, or anything that sharp. Too risky.

Have you tried these? https://www.amazon.com/BarberUPP-Green-Stix-3/dp/B00QIZVTN8/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1498765054&sr=1-2&keywords=silver+nitrate+sticks I tried them because my ENT appointment never got made to cauterize cankers. I'm too chicken to use silver nitrate on myself but these sticks, produce pain that drops me to my knees for an hour, and then no more pain for ~12 hours with significantly faster healing time.

I just bought the Kank-A medicine on Amazon so hopefully if I use that in conjunction with those sticks, it will lessen my pain. What triggers cankers for you?
