3) Salt Rinse for Mouth Sores

Mouth sores are tiny but can ruin every bite. Orange juice stings, crunchy snacks feel impossible, even brushing hurts. For mild canker sores, many turn to a warm saltwater rinse. Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water. Swish gently near the sore, then spit. Don’t scrub or rub salt directly—that hurts more than it helps. A gentle rinse is enough.
