best product to get rid of canker sores?
So i currently have 3 canker sores in my mouth (painful and irritating!).
So the first one that accumulated was about one week ago, and I have the orajel stuff that is meant for cankers, and I applied it with a q-tip about 4-5 a day. However, the little bugger just got bigger. The second one started about 3 days ago, and the third came around about 72 hours ago. I keep using the orajel but they just keep getting bigger! I also used a product called Tanac (also meant for canker sores) and I doesn't seem to do the trick either.
I'm not a fan of the salt and water thing, because man does it hurt when I try to use it. Just the swooshing around in the mouth makes me extremely irritated.
So my question is, what is the best product to get rid of them as soon as possible, because I even have a hard time eating solid foods because it rubs up against them.
Also, the first canker sore is a bit smaller than a pencil eraser (gross and painful..) So please recommend something that will help me get rid of them as quick as possible because I'm so sick of this!
(canker sores are contagious right? this would probably explain why I have three of them!)
sorry the 3rd one came 4 days ago*

Do "natural" teeth whitening techniques actually work?
Okay so basically i know i'm going to give in to Chest White Strips eventually, but i wanna try the natural ways of whitening teeth. Waste of time, or do they kinda work?
Here are some of the remedies i've heard:
- back of orange peels to give em nice luster/shine
- bakin soda
- strawberries (crush em and make a paste then apply to teeth and leave it on for about 5 min. Then wash away.)
- eating celary
- since most commercial whitening things are made from hydrogen peroxide you could buy some at a store. Then put it onto a q-tip and apply. But make sure not to get it onto gums, they will become VERY sensative. Then wash it all off. & make sure not to swalow.
Do any of these work?! And if so how long does it take for the results to show, cuz i'm kinda of an impatient person =)

How can you get rid of tonsil stones for good?
I have this tiny small ball(sulfur bacteria) which i cant get out of my right tonsil. Its just been stuck there. If I try to get it out or scratch it with my finger, its going to bleed. I tried using a Q-tip and it didn't work. I felt it with my finger. I tried using a toothbrush and it doesn't work. What should I do?
How long does it take for the toothpaste to kick in on the pimples?
I used some crest toothpaste, and dabbed a little on my pimple, on my nose with a q-tip. How long does it usually take for the toothpaste to kick in on the pimple. After the time is over, what do I do next? Please help me. The pimple on my nose was really hurting and I wanted to get rid of it!
Well at least it made the pain feel better....
How do I deal with bad breath after I got my wisdom teeth pulled?
I got my wisdom teeth removed Thursday. It is now Tuesday, the pain has gone away for the most part but now I am dealing with bad breath. I had all 4 taken out, the top two were out of the gums, so I have holes where I get food stuck but its a lot easier to clean cause I can reach it with my tongue and a q-tip.
However, my bottom ones had to be cut into, I can barely even see the hole. If I spread my cheeks wide enough, I can see some red where I believe the incision was made.
How do I deal with this bad breath? How do I clean my holes? Will I have to worry about this until the holes fill up?
Also, I noticed that all the stitches dissolved Monday night, which is 4 days after the operation. Is this normal?
It is very hard to clean the bottom holes especially since I barely can even see the holes, I can't really get my tooth brush back there and I don't know if food is stuck there.
