7 | TheBucknerClarion.com Month Year Easing the Sting of Canker Sores Canker sores are wounds that appear inside mouth. They may appear inside the cheeks or at the base of the gums. Possible causes of canker sores include stress, hormonal imbalances, and sensitivity to certain foods. Most canker sores are small, circular wounds with a red border and a white or yellow center. Pain, tingling, and a burning sensation may be experienced before or after a sore appears. Some sores heal within two weeks, while other sores may take up to six weeks to heal and can cause scarring. Canker sores may be treated with some topical medications. Topical medications used to soothe these sores include benzocaine (Orabase, Anbesol) and hydrogen peroxide (Peroxyl, Orajel Antiseptic Mouth Sore Rinse). Benzocaine is a local anesthetic that works to ease the pain of canker sores. It is available in the form of pastes or gels. Side effects of benzocaine include redness, and irritation.
