    Supposedly salt has some natural antiseptic properties, but I've had my share of canker sores and salt has never once helped mine.

    If you want to get rid of them, as much as it hurts scrub the area with peroxide and then use a gel made for the sores. It'll be gone in less than 24 hours :)

    Rinsing your mouth with salty water helps with all types of mouth ailments, not sure what a canker sore is though;0)

    no they tell you to do that to prevent, because they can be caused by bacteria in or mouth along with stress and other random things. The best way to heal it I hound is to crush up a tylenol pill and put it right on the sore and hold it there as long as possible. it tastes like crap but mine are normally gone with in a day or two vrs. a week or two waiting it out.
