Mouth Sores
Many years ago, I was in a research study with the Medical College of Georgia Dental School. I had terrible mouth sores that would last for weeks. They gave me a tube of something, I used it, and the sores immediately cleared up within a few days.
When the study was over, I asked what it was. It's Clear Red Close-Up toothpaste. When I get a sore, I dab some toothpaste on the sore with a Q-Tip every time I feel pain. It takes away the pain much better than Ambusol. I brush my teeth with the Close-up toothpaste until the sore is gone. Now my sores last 2-3 days. I have recommended this to so many people over the years, and it has worked for everybody. I get my toothpaste at Walmart- it's about $3 for a big tube- and it lasts a long time. If your kids get sores, you can send the toothpaste to school with them- it's not a medicine, it's toothpaste. I've been using it now for 35 years and it has never let me down once.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and tips! I'm glad that you found an effective treatment that works for you. Wishing you all the best, Karina (team member) 
Thank you so so much for sharing! I get canker sores pretty often, so this seems like such a good get! When I was a kid, my sister and I got hand foot and mouth disease and wowza. It felt like I was gargling shards of glass. I know all too well the struggle with mouth pain! ~ Sawyer (team member)
