i have some chronic canker sore problem (get them every few weeks, used to get 1-3 at a time) and i found out the best way is to apply some watermelon frost (a blackish powder) that you can only buy in san francisco chinatown

edit: i thin it's this http://www.amazon.com/SANJIN-Watermelon-Frost-Compound-Solstice/dp/B000VEWVMU but it was only $2.25 in aforementioned store

If you're filipino, you would know salt and water is not always the best remedy the food that you eat especially adobo or rice something of that sort will get your canker sore in an outrage and it will spread or get worse lool.

Plenty of water everyday drink more than your average, Brush your teeth after meals basically and get some Canker-X and slap it on.
lool @Wanton I swear only Filipinos get Canker sores. the rest is like 10%

Salt and lemon would sting like hell but it'd help.

Put the salt on an open lemon and rub it against the canker sore to purify it

Lime works wonders. Stings but it helps.

Rinse your mouth with a cup of water that has about 1 tea spoon of salt.
