| Canker
sores or aphthous ulcers are the most common cause of mouth ulcerations.
About 20% of the population suffers from these oral ulcers, and most suffer
in silence. Some individuals develop only one canker sore while others
suffer from outbreaks of multiple canker sores. Once a person
has initially experienced a canker sore there is a high probability of
reoccurrence.
APHTHASOL
is indicated in HEALTHY individuals with NORMAL immune systems who suffer
from canker sores. Aphthasol helps decrease the progression of the
ulcerations and therefore decreases the duration of the pain.

 Canker
sores are usually small, whitish sores with red borders. They usually
occur on the cheek, tongue, floor of the mouth and inside the lip.
Canker sores are usually identified by their appearance and their location
by a physician and need to be distinguished from other types of ulcerations
possibly due to infection or oral cancers.
In it's earliest stages a canker
sore begins as a reddish area that may or may not be raised and it often
produces a burning or tingling sensation. This initial lesion will
subsequently progress to an ulceration which is usually no more than 1/4
inch in diameter and round or oval in shape. The edges of the ulcer
are regular and NOT jagged surrounded by a halo and the center of the ulcer
is covered by a loosely attached white or grayish membrane.
One can experience just one ulceration
or multiple canker sores. Usually the number of canker sores present
at one time are six or less, and multiple canker sores tend not be clustered
but instead are widely distributed throughout the person's mouth. Usually
canker sores heal in 14 days without scarring. Aphthasol inhibits
the body's inflammatory reactions thereby decreasing the progression of
this ulceration which results in decreased pain and quicker healing. |

WHAT TRIGGERS CANKER
SORES?
Although
the exact cause of canker sores are not known, there are a number of factors
that trigger outbreaks
-
Mechanical
trauma: self-inflicted, irritation from a sharp tooth, or trauma from a
hard type of food, or brushing too hard.
-
Emotional stress
or hormonal changes.
-
Products containing
sodium lauryl sulfate found in toothpastes
Dietary
factors. Nutritional deficiencies such as iron, folic acid or Vitamin
B12. Food allergies may be triggers and researchers have shown
a relationship between canker sores and the following foods: Cereal grains;
Fruits and vegetables - lemons, oranges, pineapples, apples, tomatoes,
strawberries; Dairy - milk and cheeses; Other foods - nuts, chocolate,
shellfish, soy, vinegar.

CANKER SORES
-
Avoid crunchy
or hard foods such as potato chips, pretzels, cut apples. Avoid acidic
drinks such as tomato juice or citrus juices, and avoid spicy or salty
foods.
-
Avoid foods
that may trigger canker sore outbreaks for you. Pay attention to
what foods may have this effect with you. The foods most commonly
associated with triggering canker sores: Cereal grains - buckwheat, whole
wheat, rye, barley; Fruits and vegetables - lemons, oranges, pineapples,
apples, tomatoes, strawberries; Dairy - milk, cheeses; and nuts, chocolate,
shellfish, soy, vinegar.

the inside of your mouth or the side of your lips - often people do this
as a nervous habit.

too hard. Nearly two out of three people apply too much pressure
when brushing their teeth.
