Interesting... well I don't know why salt water seems to work better than alcohol-based mouthwash then, any ideas? I just remember hearing that your body's bacteria handles the salt better than the alcohol, but the nasties can't handle it at all.
Gandalf_The_Grey Reviewed by Gandalf_The_Grey on . Rant: canker sores! I have like 4 canker sores in my mouth right now!!! Fuck! 2 are on the tip of my tongue and the other two are on my lower lip. Does anyone else suffer from these dreadful things??? BTW, canker sores are different from cold sores. Everyone knows that the latter are caused by the herpes virus. Doctors don't really know what causes canker sores. The worst part is they make my entire mouth ache. I'm having trouble sleeping, and eating can be a bitch! Rating: 5
