canker sores

[LIBRA]

For the last two months Kris keeps getting canker sores on his gums, he has one now on the inside of his cheek. I dont know why, he doesnt eat alot of sugary things, or acidic foods. The only thing is he uses one of those spin tooth brushes? I stopped having him use that and just use a regular one. Poor kid.

I have him gargle with salt water which does help and tonight I put salt on the one on his cheek which hurt but he did it. Anyone have any tips or insight? Ive only had one my entire life and it hurt like heck.

Poor love. Gargling with salty water really is the best thing, though it is disgusting and I sympathise with him sooooo much.
See if they stop after having ditched the toothbrush but if they still persist then take him along to the dentist/doctor?
Not sure which one out of those two would be best.

Its been a week since he stopped using that tooth brush and Ive been having him gargle with sea salt, seems to be doing the trick. He is so good about taking stuff, always has been. He takes these liquid vitamins for kids and they taste aweful, he is a champ.

Thanks Hedge, I was hoping I was doing the right thing.
