 Hello everybody, Andrea here with Dental L. I have had my own mobile dental hygiene practice for over two years now, and I've been in the dental profession for 15 years. So I definitely have experience in dental. What a lot of patients ask me about is when they get mouth sores, cold sores, ulcers, whatever it may be, how they can heal that at home. And it's actually very easy, but it will take some time. So the first thing that you need to do is you need to make a note of when you first noticed your mouth sore, because what we will always tell patients is if it lasts more than 14 days, seven to 14 days, we tell patients, come on in, let us know for us to look at it. If it's still there, we might refer you to either your family physician or an oral pathologist who deals specifically with things inside the mouth. So make a note of when it had first came, because most people don't think about that. The best thing to do is take one teaspoon of sea salt and a cup of warm water and swish around, lots of swishing like this for a good 30 seconds. If you do it for two seconds, it doesn't really help because it can't get everywhere inside the mouth. Of course, if you can't last 30 seconds because it's either painful for you or you just can't have something swish in your mouth for that long, that's okay, but do it for as long as you can up to that 30 seconds. And I tell my patients to keep doing it. Keep that cup of warm water with sea salt in it, one teaspoon of sea salt. Keep that cup with you and rinse throughout the day. The cup won't stay warm. So the warm water won't stay warm throughout the day, but keep on swishing with that and then spit it out that will heal up that sore or sores in your mouth very quickly. I've had experience, it happens, even if you're just brushing and you happen to slip a little bit, nick the gum, ouch, it really hurts. Salt water is amazing. It's cheap and it's amazing and it works. You should start to notice it getting better within a couple of hours if you keep swishing with it. If you're swishing with the salt water once in the morning, once at night, it might take 14 days to heal. But if you keep doing it, it will get better. I'm not a doctor, but when I have a mouth sore, I do take Advil for the pain because it can be very painful, especially if you're trying to eat depending on where the cold sore is, ouch, it can be painful. Advil is an anti-inflammatory, but I'm not a doctor. You might not be able to take Advil. So check with your doctor if you're not sure, but everybody can rinse with salt water as far as I know. So that's the best way to do it, an easy way and inexpensive. So good luck, you guys. Hopefully you don't get them too often and I'll talk to you in the next one.
