Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi all,

Anybody have any recommendations for mouthwash that is good for canker sores? I watched a YouTube video by a gal that wears Damon brackets and she said that she found this great mouthwash that worked really well but for some reason she did not disclose the name/brand of the mouthwash. I did some googling and didn't get any satisfactory results.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all in advance!

Colgate Peroxyl

ditto on the Peroxyl.

Thanks you guys!!! This forum rocks!

I don't have any yet, but I want to be prepared because I get them without the braces so I am sure I will get them *with* the braces.

Thanks again!

I use Gly-Oxide it's the same ingredient probably as the colgate one.

I use Orajel Antiseptic Mouth Sore Rinse. It works amazingly well - I use it nightly in place of my usual mouthwash, right before bed. I went camping and forgot it for two days and voila! instant mouth sores. But if I use it daily it prevents them. Also if I feel a sore spot forming, I'll use it and the spot goes away.

Peroxyl is good, so is Zilactin-B (although it is really really gross, but it works) I also sometimes crush and swish licorice root to heal the sores--I found a place on this webiste (somewhere) that disscusses all these products, as well as natural alternatives--the licorice root works great, and tastes good too!! Check it out--maybe the admin of the forum could post the link to that area, I probably could never find it again!!

Thank you all for your responses.

An additional question:

Does anyone use Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with h2o and salt? Or just HP & h2o? I learned of Black Hairy Tongue today and am a little bit freaked out. The thing is, these OTC washes for cankers, the first ingredient is 1.5% HP. The rest of the ingredients are just fluff.

Let me know what you guys do/think if you are so moved!

Thanks again for your replies!
