[McGavin]

Gargle with hydrogen peroxide.

[hopecounts]

put a tums on it whenever it hurts, I've done this a few times for quick relief.
then gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide in the morning and evening.

When I was a kid my father used to put an aspirin on it and let it dissolve there. Yuck. I doubt anything but time will actually speed up healing. I'd just keep numbing it. Feel better!

I also had to switch to a toothpaste that doesn't have sodium lauryl sulfate in it.

I actually have one now, it sucks.

I don't think anything makes them go away faster - I'm using this and it just numbs it, but it does feel better www.drugstore.com/kanka-mouth-pain-liquid-professional-strength/qxp15811

Crush up an acidophilus pill.put it right on the sore. It usually clears up after a couple applications.

I gargle salt water a couple times a day. Seems to help.

Yep.  I get them often but much less often once I made that switch.

Yes, this. It's messy but it works great.

[ninjabridemom]

Baking soda right in it works every time for me.

Basically any of the other ^^ solutions work too -- neutralizing bacteria/acid/whatever makes it hurt.

Try Gly-Oxide - its like a miracle!

I know someone who swears by using alum, but I always forget to try it. They apply it to the sore, let it sit for a minute, then rinse and spit. According to them it makes the sore disappear by the next morning.

I gargle with warm salt water.

Sometimes putting a little hydrogen peroxide on it helps too. I scratched my gum with my toothbrush a couple weeks ago and it the pain from that lasted a couple days until I dabbed it with some hydrogen peroxide, it cleared it up after that.

That was magical! 

A canker sore is an ulcer, which is caused by acid so an antacid conteracts it giving temporary relief

I have used hydrogen peroxide and gargled with salt water.

I hate canker sores

[FastHands]

Get "canker cover". It's like a bandaid for inside yo mouth.

[revolution]

Use peroxyl
Get some kanka or orabase b both will help.

And time. Unfortunately.

Canker cover for overnight.

Gargle with milk of magnesia mixed with liquid benadryl.

[kitty63]

My pharmacist said milk of magnesia for gargling or a crushed up tums were the best.

Makes a huge difference. I scratched my mouth really bad inside once and this fixed it quickly.

My mom used to do alum with us. It sucks initially but it does clear it up.
