Do you frequently suffer from irritating canker sores? Many people do, but they often try to ignore the problem until it worsens. Salt water or straight salt can help relieve painful canker sores by cleaning them out. Simply mix table salt with a glass of warm water and rinse your mouth with the solution. For larger sores, place a small amount of table salt directly onto the affected area and rinse with warm water.
