Kapanlagi.com - Canker sores, also known as stomatitis, are conditions characterized by the appearance of white ulcer spots on the walls of the mouth, upper lip, or tongue. Although not dangerous, canker sores can be a source of discomfort for anyone experiencing them.
According to consultant dentist, Tiwi Ambarwati, there are various factors that can trigger the onset of canker sores. One of them is stress, which can weaken the immune system and make a person more susceptible to this condition.
Tiwi also added that the habit of brushing teeth too hard, known in Javanese as "kesogrok," can lead to the emergence of canker sores. "Brushing teeth too hard can cause canker sores," she said.
Not only that, individuals with disorders of the endocrine glands are also at higher risk of experiencing canker sores. Tiwi reminded that deficiencies in vitamin C, B12, folic acid, and iron can also increase susceptibility to canker sores.
Injuries or trauma in the mouth area, such as wounds from biting the cheek or tongue, brushing teeth too hard, or consuming hard foods, can also trigger the appearance of canker sores.
"One of the most common causes of canker sores is biting oneself," Tiwi added during a recent Instagram live session with the Indonesian Traditional Medicine and Herbal Association (PDPOTJI).
So, if you experience symptoms of canker sores, pay attention to your lifestyle and daily habits, okay!
Canker sores can indeed be a very annoying problem, but don’t worry! There are several natural solutions you can try to alleviate them.
First of all, maintaining oral and dental hygiene is a crucial step that should not be overlooked. Next, there are several natural ingredients that can be your allies in dealing with canker sores.
One of them is gargling with salt water, which according to research in the Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology, is effective in maintaining oral health. The method is quite simple: dissolve one teaspoon of salt in 250 ml of water and gargle with the solution every 2-3 hours.
In addition, saga leaves, which are commonly known for relieving internal heat and sore throat, can also help in dealing with canker sores.
Brew saga leaves and drink, as research shows that these leaves have antibacterial properties that can inhibit bacterial growth.
So, prepare these natural ingredients and say goodbye to canker sores!

Not only that, propolis has also been proven effective in speeding up the healing of wounds after tooth extraction, as researched by UGM.
If you're looking for another alternative, betel leaves, which are rich in antiseptics, can be a choice; just take five leaves, boil them with water until it boils, and use it after it cools.
Even spices like cloves and cinnamon, which we often find in the kitchen, also have properties to tackle canker sores thanks to their antiseptic content.
So, let's take advantage of nature's wealth to take care of our oral health!
Tiwi explains that for healthy individuals, the healing process of canker sores usually takes between one to two weeks. So, if your canker sore hasn't healed after 14 days, there's no need to panic!
"In healthy individuals, canker sores generally heal within 7 to 24 days. However, for those with certain health conditions, canker sores may appear more frequently," Tiwi stated.
Nevertheless, if you experience large canker sores that continuously recur, or pain that doesn't subside even after taking pain relievers, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
And if the canker sore lasts more than three weeks without signs of improvement, do not hesitate to seek medical help.
