Glyoxide - It's an OTC oral rinse and it's amazing. I used it when I got my tongue pierced years ago, but my ortho gave me the thumbs up on using it for sores. You can usually find it in the oral care section of the pharmacy.. it's in a small blue and white box, and is usually about 7 or 8 bucks. A...
