Does xylitol help with canker sores (aphthous ulcers) and similar things?
Various volunteer subjects have indeed experienced rapid pain relief when they allowed some xylitol to melt in their mouth 4 times a day or more and then gingerly spread the sweet saliva over the sore area using their tongue. If you have xylitol gel which is easy to spread, you have an even simpler method of application.
