How Can I Prevent Canker Sores?
Prevention is not foolproof, but there are some things you can do to help ward off canker sores, especially if you have had them repeatedly:
- Brush your teeth with disinfecting baking soda and floss regularly.
- Eat 4 tablespoons of live-culture yogurt a day; it contains bacteria that can keep your system healthy.
- Avoid foods that are spicy, salty, or acidic.
- Take vitamin and mineral supplements C, B complex, folic acid, iron, and zinc.
