For canker sores, if they are recurring or very painful, it's always best to see a dentist or doctor. Sometimes they can be a sign of something else, or you might need a medicated mouthwash. Don't ignore persistent issues.
Canker sores are a menace! For immediate relief, rinsing with warm salt water several times a day helps. You can also try applying a little bit of alum powder directly on the sore for a minute – it stings like crazy but dries it out fast. Avoid spicy food for a few days.
I find that stress and lack of certain vitamins (like B12 or iron) can trigger canker sores. So staying active and eating a balanced diet with plenty of greens helps. For pain, a good cold rinse can numb it a bit before eating.
Canker sore pain? Ugh, it's like a tiny monster in your mouth that makes every bite hell. I usually just grin and bear it, or maybe take a paracetamol if it's really bad. Mostly I just try to forget about it while desperately needing more sleep.
Over-the-counter pain-relieving gels or mouth rinses designed for oral sores can help. Look for ones with benzocaine or similar numbing agents. Saltwater rinses are also good for keeping the area clean and promoting healing. If it doesn't improve, see a doctor.

Oh, canker sores are the worst! I always use a special oral gel that my dentist recommended; it creates a protective layer and gives instant relief. Also, try avoiding acidic and very spicy foods while you have one, that makes it hurt more.
I used to get canker sores quite often. I found that swishing cold water or a mild mouthwash helped temporarily with the pain. Also, avoiding really hot or spicy food for a few days made a big difference in how quickly it healed and how much it hurt.
