Mucosamine is very good...I’m a retired dentist and my colleague swears by it..he’s an oral surgeon I’m on dexamethasone and it must be taken before noon or it will keep you awake...fancy not telling you that!

Try good quality Manuka Honey lozenges. They taste good and and work well for mouth ulcers.

Karen, Where do i buy these lozenges. Helena

I read that breaking a vitamin E capsule and applying the liquid to the sore helps a lot, though I haven't had to try it. Hope it works.Kate
