... and a teaspoon of salt. Mix well to disolve the salt and then swoosh. Do this 3 to 4 times per day. It will accelerate healing and help the pain subside.

Do not use the salt/gargle/swoosh for longer than a week. Prolonged use can adversely effect tooth enamel.

I'm sorry you're going through this. What is up w dental care? My sister spent 64k and has meth mouth

Maybe they are tired of fixing the plastic ones.

I just moved a small trash can and as I sat back down I frigging bit one of them again!!

I just realized that I have a mouth guard so I am going to put it in.

My dentist recommends it but I think it might be controversial in some circles.

It's thought to help your mouth heal.

My dentist says coconut is fine and I prefer it.

ask your dentist for a scrip for Kenalog in Orabase. It comes in a teeny tube, which should give you a clue on how much to use, a tiny dab will do you. I use it mostly at night since it tends to glue my mouth together, and the sore has usually gone a long way toward healing by the following night.

Anything lidocaine/xylocaine based is going to hurt like a bee sting but only for a nanosecond or so. Kenalog doesn't have any of that in it, so it doesn't directly treat any pain, but just having a semi solid cap of goo on top of a lesion makes it feel a bit better, at least for me.

The dose is about half the size of the head on a paper match. It's tiny.
