ALUM. It's a pickling spice. Don't use a bunch just a little. Warning: VERY sour. But it works right now.

Have you had the open sores checked byb a doctor. If they arent canker sore's they could be something more serious. So you really need to get them checked.

First, I'd wonder why you had open sores. If you've just bit the inside of your mouth, that's very different than if you have a more serious condition. If you feel these sores are normal, but just an inconvience, read on. (If not, go to a doctor!)

First, you won't be able to get rid of sores overnight. And you probably shouldn't kiss anyone when you have sores, as it makes you MUCH more likely to catch an STD if the person you are kissing has one. It also means that you can pass a bodily fluid like blood into someone else's mouth, which is never cool.

As far as healing them goes, cancer sores do well with over-the-counter medication you can buy at any drugstore. Cuts do well with gargled saltwater. Whatever the sore, don't fiddle it with your tongue or fingers - this can make it last longer or even cause an infection.

Certain types of toothpaste can cause or irritate mouth sores, so a dentist can let you know more about that. These should not be something you have to deal with all the time - if they are, you do need to see a doctor.

In the meantime, keep your lips closed when you kiss. Or just enjoy flirting. Kissing with open sores isn't safe.

Sorry!
