Ive been experiencing cankers and mount sores ever since I had dental
My question is how do I get rid of these cankers and mouth sores .I've tried everything from salt ,antibiotics ,mouth rinse and penicillin which
did help in putting more saliva in my mouth which is another symptom that I've been experiencing as well.
I've discussed this issue with the periodontist and my dentist with no solution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely ; Dennis

@denniswalsh54 perhaps you could get a referral to a periodontist …? It was he who finally diagnosed me with oral lichen planus and prescribed Lyderm gel for my mouth.
Before him, I had been to some dentists, a maxillofacial specialist and periodontist. None of them could figure out what it was and I suffered for years. Oral Lichen Planus is an autoimmune condition so like other autoimmune illnesses there is no cure, but it can be kept under control. Chances are, if you have one autoimmune illness you are likely to have more.
Make sure that your toothpaste doesn’t contain laurel sulfate.
I think you should make an appointment to rule out other causes with your GP. You just mentioned consulting the dental professionals. Was your GP the doctor that prescribed penicillin? Did you mean your sores began just after you had dental work and they were the result of a cut to your gum tissues but they wont heal?
Sorry you had this happen!
First find out what is wrong. I used to use Benadryl liquid and I believe Mylanta swish and spit for pain control. There's an old medicine called kenalog in orabase and that is like a sticky substance for canker sores. I had braces and the sores and metal were digging into each other. Plus tomatoes didn't sting then.
