Do You Suffer from Canker Sores?

     When it comes to managing canker sores, you need to know everything you can about them in order to help ease the pain, speed up healing and possibly reduce the number of canker sore outbreaks you experience. 
     Canker Sores tend to appear out of nowhere, may be very painful, and almost always heal up very well on their own.
     There are three types of canker sores that range from mild to very severe.  At their onset, canker sores will often begin with telltale raw, burning signs and then turn into a raw white sore.  Canker sores generally last for no more than two weeks.  
     These sores may develop for one of any number of reasons, from genetics to serious disease to a certain brand of toothpaste or food sensitivity.  When you know the cause of your canker sore outbreaks, treating these painful mouth sores may become easier.  
     There are treatments and remedies that may help ease the pain from canker sores and possibly help speed up the healing process, but presently, there is no known cure for canker sores.
     Dr. Berard is able to greatly reduce the number of days of healing by sterilizing the area(s) with laser treatment.  This is painless and takes less than 15 minutes.  
     It is important to keep in mind that the outcome from any course of treatment, whether it be prescription medication, over-the-counter products, or home-made remedies will be partially influenced by the individual and certainly dependent on the type and severity of the canker sores.
