I started having a canker sore yesterday & I think I have a cut on the inside of my right cheek. They're both hurting really bad. I can't eat & barely talk. What can I do to make it go away faster?? It's really bothering me.

Baking soda with water, gargle some in your mouth for a minute and it should be gone by tonight

Warm salt water will help. Swish it around in your mouth. Make sure it's very warm and make sure there's a lot of salt in the water. I bit the inside of my lip last week and I did this every day and now it's gone :)

If you have any teeth touching that make it hurt put some wax on it and gargle salt and water. wax isn't just for braces!

Rinse with salt water and make sure you're getting plenty of vitamin c.

There are some kind of ointments (hope that's the right word) that kinda numb the part of the body you put it on and they are specifically made for your mouth too, so try that.
As for baking powder, I read that it's bad for your teeth

The one and only thing that helps me is a prescription paste, and it works so fast. I don't have any advice on other ways, but if you get them often I would definitely recommend looking into seeing a dentist and getting a script! :)
