8. Cap it With Wax

If your canker sore keeps rubbing against your tooth or your braces, putting a little wax over the tooth can help stop the friction.

Melt down 1 tablespoon of beeswax and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Mix these together over low heat, and once fully melted and mixed, allow to cool just enough so that you can pick it up. Mold this directly over the tooth, denture, or the part of your braces that is rubbing against the tooth, to stop the irritation to the sore.
