3. Aloe vera could help, too.
Aloe vera has been used medicinally for centuries. This gel can soothe canker sores and speed up the recovery time. Aloe vera has antiseptic qualities, so it can help to kill off any bacteria that may have caused the sore in the first place, or that are aggravating the sore.
Additionally, aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can also soothe a canker sore. Try applying a small dab of aloe vera gel directly onto the canker sore (it is safe to ingest, so don’t worry.)
You can also try rinsing your mouth with aloe vera gel.
