How can I treat canker sore?

[onea]

Hello, Canker sores are small, shallow lesions that develop on the soft tissues in your mouth or at the base of your gums. Unlike cold sores, canker sores don't occur on the surface of your lips and they aren't contagious. Can anyone tell effective treatment for it?

@onea Canker sores usually heal without treatment. However, there are many helpful lifestyle changes you can make to treat canker sores. You can also do things like you should brush and floss your teeth regularly to prevent bacterial infection, and avoid spicy foods to speed up the healing process. Pain can sometimes be severe. You can lessen the discomfort by gargling with mouthwash or salt water. If all these things don't help then visit a dentist. Thanks!
