How to kill mouth ulsers: dab salt on it, lots of salt (or saltwater if your a wimp ).

Hurts like hell but it works, I used to get them quite a bit, just dump shitloads of salt on em, after a few mins it goes numb and you can wash ya mouth out, then a day or so later its gone. Just keep dumping salt on there twice/three times a day and they're gone fast.

IIRC you tend to get them most when you're not eating healthy, arent sleeping enough, or a combination of both. I used to get them alot when I was up all night on CS and DAoC, then I'd eat a microwave curry and go to bed for a couple of hours then start again, used to half atleast one ulser at a time, usually more than one, was a pain in the backside but using salt on them helps alot, but if you know you're not sleeping enough/eating right then solving that can help more.

ulcars are caused by regurgitated stomach acid or something

isnt that stomach ulsers? they can be fatal - my uncled died from one, but thats in the stomach, think its were you generate too much stomach acid and it eats through the protective layer of stuff in the wall of the stomach or something, atleast I think its something like that.

Mouth ulsers are not usually fatal

The exact cause of mouth ulcers is unknown, but in some cases they are thought to be caused by an overreaction by the body's own immune system. Factors that appear to provoke them include stress, fatigue, illness, injury from accidental biting, hormonal changes, menstruation, sudden weight loss, food allergies and deficiencies in vitamin B12, iron and folic acid. Some drugs, such as nicorandil, have been linked with mouth ulcers.

Mouth ulcers are thought to form when the body becomes aware of and attacks chemicals which it does not recognize. The presence of the unrecognized molecules garners a reaction by the lymphocytes, which trigger a reaction that causes the damage of a mouth ulcer.

Trauma to the mouth is a common cause of mouth ulcers. Physical trauma, such as toothbrush abrasion, poking with sharp food, accidental biting (this can be particularly common with sharp canine teeth), or dental braces can cause mouth ulcers by breaking the mucous membrane. Other factors, such as chemical irritants or thermal injury, may also lead to the development of ulcers. However in many cases, the precise cause is unknown.

A common cause of ulcers is gluten intolerance, in which case consumption of wheat, rye, or barley can result in chronic mouth ulcers. If gluten intolerance is the cause, prevention means taking most breads, pastas, cakes, pies, cookies, scones, biscuits, beers etc. out of the diet and substituting gluten-free varieties where available. Artificial sugars, such as those found in diet cola and sugarless gum, have been reported as causes of mouth ulcers as well. They can also be linked to an increased intake of acids such as ascorbic acid (one form of Vitamin C) or citric acid. In this case the sores disappear after intake decreases (for example, by substituting ascorbate salts for ascorbic acid).

Repeat episodes of mouth ulcers can be indicative of an immunodeficiency, signalling low levels of immunoglobulin in the mucous membrane of the mouth. Chemotherapy is a common cause of mouth ulcers. Mouth ulcers may also be symptoms or complications of several diseases listed in the following section. The treatment depends on the believed cause.

Some home remedies

* Gently clean the mouth ulcers by roughening with a toothbrush; when clean, apply antiseptic.
* Swab the mouth ulcers with sea-buckthorn fruit oil or hydrogen peroxide.
* Rinse the mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash (e.g. Listerine), which can relieve pain for a few hours.[citation needed]
* Apply a portion of a Listerine Pocket Pack strip to the sore, this dries the sore up and relieves pain. [citation needed]
* Pouring salt directly on the ulcer can prove effective,[citation needed] however this can be extremely painful and can scar. Avoiding pressure on the ulcer after applying the salt may minimize the pain.[citation needed]
* Apply glyoxide directly to the ulcers and swish around mouth.
* Rinse the mouth with salt water—1 teaspoon of salt dissolved in 1 cup (250 ml) of warm water (a.k.a. a saline solution).
* Take Lysine-L supplements.
* Rinse mouth and especially the affected area with sage tea 3 times a day. The improvement can be seen as early as within 24 hours.[citation needed]
* Paint half-strength gentian violet solution on the ulcer.[3]
* Gargle a mouthful of warm vinegar with a half-tablespoon of salt for about 30 seconds, 3 times per day; this may be extremely painful, but healing can be seen in as early as 2 days.[citation needed]
* Apply oil of cloves using a cotton swab or Q-tip. This is initially very painful, but will result in a period of time where the affected area is quite numb, allowing painless chewing or talking.[citation needed]
* Some have applied anise directly on the ulcer.
* Hold an asprin tablet against the ulcer until the asprin begins to dissolve away.
* Hold moderately concentrated alcohol in the mouth over the area of the ulcer, presumably because of alcohol's diuretic effect (and, likewise, the more concentrated, the more diuretic), although there is no direct evidence to support this.

Antacid techniques suggested include the following:

* Swab the ulcers with Milk of Magnesia. [citation needed]
* Apply powdered alum directly to the ulcers—available in the spice aisle at grocery [citation needed]stores; this can be very painful, but is proven to work.[citation needed]
* Make a paste of baking soda and water; apply directly to the ulcers.[citation needed]
* Make a paste of crushed Tums (antacid) and water—apply directly to the ulcers.[citation needed]
* Rinse the mouth with a baking soda-water mix—1 teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in 1 cup (250 ml) of warm water.[citation needed]
* Avoid acidic foods such as tomato, citrus, soft drinks, and vinaigrette salad dressings.[citation needed]
* Make a mix of half Mylanta and half Benadryl and hold in the mouth for up to three minutes.[citation needed]

thanks

probably the sleep thing.... i only sleep 2 hours or so a night :< or i just lay there

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

I had them a lot due to being oversensitive to sugar (refined sugar from sugar beet or sugar cane, on ingredients lists also listed as sugar, sucrose, saccharose, glycose syrup, glycose).

Used to have two or more simultaneous. Now I don't eat sugar anymore, I don't get the mouth ulcer nearly as frequent. Perhaps one once every two months or less even.

 

[Kagato]

Sadly I know a fair bit, I used to get mouth ulcers all the time.

You commonely get them if your feeling run down, stressed or ill, if you had a cold recently for example.

What I always use is Anbesol liquid to numb the pain so you can eat a meal ok without screaming.

And then Adcoytal in Orabase to actually get rid of it, its 10 X better then bonjela. It puts a hard cap over the ulcer so its best to use it before you go to bed at night. It'll feel weird but it works.

Sorry, but any bloke who wants to put thier most prized possession ANYWHERE near a pencil sharpener just to give his GF a mouth ulser needs help imo

 

[Solo]

I thought you get them from not cleaning your mouth/teeth enough. Helps to keep it clean anyway to stop bacteria. There are some gel type products but I found they slip away and are useless, best is gargle saltwater

 

[Haggus]

stop giving head....

 

[Mikah75]

stop giving head....

... i havnt been doing anything of the sort

and i brush my teeth twice a day, floss and use mouthwash:< they're definately clean!

I got this from a nasa site thingy:

A pulsar is a neutron star which emits beams of radiation that sweep through the earth's line of sight. Like a black hole, it is an endpoint to stellar evolution. The "pulses" of high-energy radiation we see from a pulsar are due to a misalignment of the neutron star's rotation axis and its magnetic axis. Pulsars pulse because the rotation of the neutron star causes the radiation generated within the magnetic field to sweep in and out of our line of sight with a regular period.

Don't know how they get in your mouth due to lack of sleep and eating badly though

Whiskey works

 

[Lethul]

whats an Ulsar then?

 

[Delket]

Quite weird to see this post as i just got one of these bastards. Was at the dentist the other day and she couldnt numb me up properly so was prodding me with a ton of anasthaetic. Knowing now that stabby things cause them thats obviously whats caused it but its driving me nuts as its right in the front of my mouth and making it hard to eat :<

Think ill go try some super strength mouth was and if not assalt myself!
