1. A decoction of the leaves of either Gooseberry or heena or the guava, singly or mixed with alum powder is a very good gargle for oral ulcers which helps minimizing mouth pain.
2. Licorice is proved to be beneficial in treatment of oral ulcers. Chewing a piece of it, refreshes pain and cleanses the teeth, arresting pain and tooth decay. Licorice is boiled in water, releases a sweet taste and can be taken as a warm infusion or decoction similar to tea.
3. Powdered camphor, when applied  on the ulcer, can also give the relief from pain.
4. Press an ice chip onto tender canker sores or suck on ice to cool a burning tongue.
5. Some teeth recoil at the slight feel of cold, in that case the ice massage should be given on the outside of the jaw.
6. Hold a wet tea bag to a canker sore. Black tea contains tannin, an astringent with pain-relieving power that’s also found in some over-the-counter remedies.
