To help prevent Canker sores you should brush your teeth after every meal and floss twice a day to keep your mouth free of food particles that trigger these painful sores.

If you still end up with a canker sore, use a soft toothbrush such as an perio-toothbrush to prevent irritation while brushing and avoid toothpastes and mouth rinses that contain sodium lauryl sulfate.
