Knowing the underlying causes may help you find the best pain remedy, as well as help you to prevent future canker sores.  Sodium lauryl sulfate, an ingredient in many toothpastes and mouth rinses, may cause a reaction in your mouth which leads to a canker sore. Food sensitivities to things like chocolate, coffee, strawberries, eggs, nuts, cheese, and spicy or acidic foods or a diet  lacking in vitamin B-12, zinc, folate (folic acid) or iron may cause canker sores. Minor, localized injuries to your mouth, such as biting the inside of your cheek, a sports accident, or brushing your teeth too vigorously, may inflame the tissue and cause an ulcer.  Wear a mouthguard during contact sports to prevent accidental cheek biting or other damage from your teeth. Use only a toothbrush with a soft head to brush your teeth. Some diseases and conditions, such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, Behcet’s disease, and various autoimmune disorders may make you more prone to mouth ulcers. Ask your doctor for more ways to prevent mouth ulcers in your circumstances. Sometimes a misaligned or sharp tooth, or dental implements such as braces or dentures, rub against the inside of your cheek, irritating your canker sore. A homemade wax “cap” can protect ease the pain by protecting the sore from that friction.  Melt 1 tablespoon of beeswax and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil together. After it has cooled, press a small amount over the area of your tooth or dental devices that rubs the sore. If you have braces, use enough wax that it creates an actual barrier, rather than just pushed into and around the brace. If the canker sore has been caused by a sharp tooth or filling irritating the inside of your cheek, you should feel relief as soon as you seek treatment.  Your dentist will tell you if you are a candidate for recontouring. If your enamel is too thin, any filing may cause sensitivity to temperature that may be painful.  Your dentist can "recontour" your teeth by removing tiny bits of enamel with a sanding disc or a fine diamond burr. He or she will shape and smooth the sides with sandpaper, and then will polish your tooth or teeth. . Some research shows an increase in canker sores as stress levels increase. Try adding relaxing activities to your routine such as yoga, meditation, or exercise.

summary: Talk with your doctor about your health and diet choices that may be causing your mouth ulcer. Protect your mouth from traumatic injury. Talk with your doctor about your overall health. Make a wax “cap” for sharp teeth or dental devices. Visit your dentist to repair a sharp tooth or filling. Reduce your stress

This constellation, also known as Ursa Major, is the key to finding the North Star (Polaris), the star that shows you where true north is in the Northern Hemisphere. This is a large constellation, and finding it on a clear night is easy.  The Big Dipper gets its name because it looks like a large spoon and is made up of some of the brightest stars in the sky. Look up and find the collection of stars that look like this. Contrary to popular belief, the North Star is not the brightest star in the sky. Use these constellations to locate it. The outer edge, what looks like the end of a spoon, is made up of 2 stars. These 2 stars are known as “pointers,” because they literally point towards the North Star. This line should extend through the top of the spoon. The North Star sits at the end of this line. The North Star forms the end of the handle on the Little Dipper and is the brightest star in that constellation. When you think you’ve found the North Star, look around it and see if it’s part of a small, spoon-shaped constellation. If so, then you’ve located it. When you’re facing the North Star, you’re facing true north. You can now use this knowledge to figure out the other directions. Remember if you’re facing north, the other directions from right to left are east, south, and west. Sometimes the weather doesn’t cooperate with this method. In this case, you can still find the Big Dipper and estimate the distance to the North Star. The North Star is approximately 6 times the distance between the 2 pointer stars. Look at the space between those 2 stars and then multiply that distance by 6. This gives you the approximate location for the North Star.

summary: Locate the Big Dipper constellation. Find the outer edge of the Big Dipper. Draw an imaginary line outward from the pointer stars. Stand facing the North Star. Estimate the distance if the sky is cloudy.

As children, we often don't agree with the rules our parents have set, but we don't have the foresight to realize that the rules are in place for a reason. Rules matter because as people we are interdependent; when you disregard rules there are consequences which not only affect you, but others as well (including your parents). Following rules demonstrates to your parents that you respect their foresight and judgement.  Be clear about expectations. Know what your parents' rules are so you can avoid any confusion and avoid accidentally breaking rules. Take a second to stop and think about the consequences. Think about what ripple effect your actions may have and how it will impact you and those around you. Ask yourself if it is really worth it. Manners aren't just about which fork to use at the dinner table; manners demonstrate a sensitive awareness of others' feelings. Caring enough to be polite towards your parents, who you've known your entire life, shows a level of respect and reverence.  Say "please," and "thank you." Words are powerful and each of those words carries meaning. Aside from being polite, it shows a level of gratitude and appreciation which are both part of respecting your parents. Watch your language. Be careful about the topics of conversations and your word choice around your parents. Parents always think of their children as their babies (regardless of how old they are). They would prefer to see them through a clean and pure lens. At some point in your life (especially your teenage years), you would rather do anything other than spend time with your parents, and your parents know and accept this. But imagine how much love, admiration, and respect they would feel if you chose to spend some unexpected quality time with them.  Tap into their interests. Take an interest in what your parents do in their spare time. Whether it's sports, dancing, music, or gardening, ask them questions and show them that you are taking an interest in them. Make them a priority by choosing to spend time with them over your friends once in a while. They'll really appreciate the gesture. As we get older, we tend to forget to give hugs and kisses to those we love. By choosing to be close to your parents through physical displays of affection, it shows that you recognize, respect, and appreciate their position as parents and caregivers.  Tell your parents you love them at random times and not just when expected or when you want something. Give your parents random hugs or kisses just because. If they ask what the unexpected action was for tell them something like, "just because you're you."
summary: Follow rules. Practice good manners. Spend time with them. Show them affection.
