                        I have painful canker sores from time to time.  I switched toothpaste brands to one for sensitive teeth and changed my toothbrush to a soft one.  This seems to have reduced the number of occurrences.  The last canker sore I had was the result of biting my lip.  I used Colgate's Peroxyl antiseptic oral cleanser and within two days my canker sore was healed. It's the best thing I've found for curing a canker sore!
