Another canker sore remedy?

[Guest guest]

Jessika went to the dentist today and we got talking about canker sores as

she had been plagued by them nonstop for months. She is on reprieve since May

when we switched to a toothpaste called Biotene. He recommends it to his older

patients with dry mouth problems.

anyway..

The dentist said one of his patients suddenly developed cankers nonstop like

Jess and started taking acidophillus (sp.) pills from a health food store - 2

pills a day with milk - and the sores stopped. Mentioned this to our ped (who

we saw immediately after the dentist for Jess for swimmers ear with her!!) and

she said 1 pill 3x a day would be fine if she started again as bad as she

was.

The toothpaste is working for now so we're not trying it yet.

Has anyone tried this before?? success stories??

Best wishes to all,

Randi,

That is amazing. I am going to go buy the biotene pronto. I am thinking

that maybe the acidophillus could be obtained from yogurt but dont know how

much that would require eating. Do you know? Thanks for the info. Amy,

Hi Randi,

Drew was taking acidophilus capsules (used to break them open and put

them in his yogurt) because he had recurrent thrush from antibiotics

for a long time and the doc suggested this- but he still had mouth

sores. I am currently trying biotene toothpaste- he's been on it for

a month or so, but got hand foot and mouth, so it's hard to say- I'll

let you know with his next episode which should be any day now!

Thanks for the tip on the biotene though, I actually could feel a

canker sore coming a few weeks ago and tried the biotene continuously

for a few days and it did not get any worse and went away faster than

usual. I am hoping it helps him!
