Is it ok to bring up reoccurring canker sores to my doctor?
I am a 19 year old college female. I have reoccurring canker sores in my mouth. I usually break out with canker sores at least twice a month. I have had canker sores since a little kid. But as a kid i would get a few break outs a year. Now breakouts seem to be more common and often. I already don't eat tomatoes, orange juice or pineapple, for i know these definitely bring on sores. Is it reasonable to bring this up to my doctor when i go home for break? Is it possible because they are recurrent there can be a topical medicine i put on the sore i get prescribed by the doctor to me? I have already tried hydrogen peroxide and Kank-a and Orajel, non of them working...Oh yeah i forgot...2 years ago my cheek swelled up and i went to the urgent care and was prescribed Lidocaine Hydrochloride to put on it to stop the swelling. But until it was out-dated it worked to get rid of canker sores faster. I do notice stress is a factor of canker sores, but i get 9 hours of sleep a night and work out to try to manage stress.
CANKER SORES!!! HELP!?
Ever since I was little I get painful canker sores. What helps them to heal? They are usually so bad that I can't eat or talk without it being painful. I have a particularly painful one right now that is splitting my head in half. I have used salt water and hydrogen peroxide...even numbed it..but it only relieves me for 30 minutes or so. It's in the side of my cheek. I get them everytime I'm stressed, or bite & burn my mouth.
HELP :(
BTW this is how they look::

Canker Sores Help Please!?
I have a canker sore, that annoying blister on your tongue that's border by this reddish color, with white inside. It hurts tremendously, and I have them at least six or seven times a year. They last about one week, but the pain they cause is simply insane. Being a thirteen year old with little pain threshold, is there any way I can mute the incessant throbbing of my canker sore or can I flag the pain in any way?
Responses involving hydrogen peroxide, milk of magnesium, or anything else you wouldn't find in the average medicine cabinet don't help. I've looked everywhere, but they all say "It'll go away..." I know that, but is there a permanent solution to my recurrent predicament?
By the way, is it possible I have a vitamin B-12, iron, or zinc deficiency? My mother says the cause of my canker sores is because I don't drink enough water, so currently I am gulping down gallons of the stuff right now, but it's not giving any relief whatsoever.
Please, I am in dire need for a resolution to this nagging, irritating issue.
For those who answer, thanks enormously. These canker sores take a major toll on my felicity.
Question about teeth whitening?
I was going to use some type of whitening strips for my teeth, but i heard those are really bad for the enamel of your teeth (My enamel is weaker than most. Price for not taking better care of my teeth when I was a little kid) so what are some whitening products that aren't too expensive and don't damage enamel? I started rinsing with hydrogen peroxide before brushing recently.
Also what are some good enamel strengthening toothpastes?
whats th best way to get my teeth whiter?
ok, i am considering a few teeth whiteners! i have heard crest white strips works good, but make's your teeth very sensative! do they? if they do i will not get them! and i hear Ultrawhite smile and Pure white smile work! i would use both! my friend found this article about a girl who used both! so i was wondering if they work? and how much do these cost? i don't want anything too expensive, 50 dollars is my limit!
sorry, but i am too scared to use Hydrogen Peroxide, because when i use mouth wash or something like that, i allways swallow a bit, and if i swallow that stuff, i will throw up, and i havent in about 2 years or something, and i don't plan on it any time soon!
