Mouth Ulcer Treatment – 2 Single-Use Swabs – Fast Relief for Canker Sores – Easy Application – Suitable for Adults and Children Over 12

If you or your kids get chronic canker sores, this is the ONLY stuff that works to cure, yes CURE it. This will not just numb like the orajel stuff, that numbs the sore and who we kidding, your whole stinking mouth in the process, and then 2 minutes later your canker sore hurts and the rest of your mouth is still numb. Nice try Orajel). This Oralmedic product is ACID, it burns the damaged tissue, in a way similar to laser cauterization, except that it is a chemical burn. Me and my kids only use this for really bad canker sores, the ones that are deep down in between your gum and lip that just seem to keep getting bigger. The reason we don't use it on little ones is two fold #1 it's expensive, and #2 it HURTS, badly. Prepare for PAIN when you apply it, but take it like a champ, knowing that if you apply this correctly, after about 15-20 seconds of fist pounding pain, eyes roll in the back of your head pain, the canker sore will be (essentially) gone, no pain anymore. Me and my kids have used this now about a dozen times and we have the process down to where we know it will work. For us, two people works best, the person who has the sore is the one to do all the work, the other person is there for extra hands to hold a flashlight, grab tissues, and hurl insults at during the moment of truth. Step 1: First get the swab out of the package and get the tip covered in the pinkish colored acid gel. Have it sitting there within reach to grab easily when you are ready. Second, get some gauze or a paper towel, something highly absorbent that won't leave lint or little pieces behind. Use the gauze/towel to COMPLETELY dry off the canker sore and surrounding area. Drying is painful, but critical to getting a complete and thorough result with the acid. We've tried pre-treating with something like orajel which helps make the wiping/drying more tolerable, but make no mistake, it won't make the acid burn less painful (it's a different kind of pain that is foreign to orajel molecules). You can use awooden tongue depresser to keep your cheek or tongue out of the way. Then, once you've dried the area, quickly, before your mouth gets all saliva-y again, grab the swab of Oralmedic and roll it back and forth over the canker sore. Get the whole thing covered. Feel free to scream, moan, pound the counter, or squeeze rubber duck to death (that is what we do), in addition to the optional insult hurling at your surgical assist. The acid only burns the injured tissue (which is kind of amazing about how this stuff works) so you don't have to worry about injuring the healthy tissue surrounding the sore. The area will turn white, and get kind of hard, both the sore and the healthy tissue around it. Yes it burns like a mu+herfu@$er!!! It only takes about 15-20 seconds to do the trick. Rinse your mouth out really well with water, you should be able to use your finger and rub away any extra gel (it won't hurt anymore!) and spit it out, it's super nasty and I really don't think any trace amount should be ingested. Within a couple of minutes the whiteness will go away from the healthy tissue area and the canker sore will remain kind of whitish and hardened for a little while. Virtually immediately, you should have no more pain when you rub over the sore with your tongue. If you have any pain, you might not have gotten it all, and you can do it again using the same swab with the gel on it. If you do this a few times you will just kind of know that yep you got it all, or no, you need to do it again (rest assured the second time is a lot less intense.) We always do this before bed and when you wake up in the morning there should be only a bad memory of the sore that once was. This product is not for the faint of heart, but if you or your kids are plagued by canker sores and sometimes they get really bad and won't go away, this stuff is your miracle. I always keep it stocked in my cupboard, because when you need it, you need it. I tried to be kind of funny when writing this, but having both my kids plagued with sometimes really bad canker sores, it's really nice that something is available that actually works. It's a trade-off because it freaking hurts, but for those that get the bad canker sores I'm talking about, it's 1000% worth it. If this stuff was $100 I'd still buy it and keep it on hand for those doozies.

I had a canker sore on the tip of my tongue that had not improved after five continuous days with regular applications of Kanka and gargling with Listerine. It hurt to talk, it hurt to eat, it is difficult to sleep it hurts so much, and five days it's a long time for canker sore to purchased. Especially on the tip of the tongue.I've never heard of this and it was pretty pricey I thought, but I was desperate enough to try it.Upon receiving it I follow the directions and after trying my tongue with a provided Q-tip, I then applied this medicine. It was immediately followed by searing pain as if someone had taken a hot poker out of the fire and touched it to my tongue. Very different than the usual burning pain that you might experience with Listerine or other numbing agents. It was an intense pain. Luckily it only lasted a few seconds at that intensity Before becoming a doll throb that even radiated to my front teeth. It wasn't great, but the pain was bearable after that initial insult.But lo and behold, when I woke up the next morning my tongue no longer hurt. Had been seven days of pain by the time I put this on, and it was better than next morning. Pretty miraculous. The next two days my tongue felt that sort of weird zinging numbness that you feel with certain hot pepper spice that is found in some Chinese foods, but not really painful just a weird numbness. But believe me, that was a massive relief and subsequently it is just continue to get better and better, never hurting again after applying this.Needless to say, I am pretty impressed and certainly recommend this and use it again. It only required one application, so really it's about $12 per application. That seems like a lot, but considering that it works so well, it was more than worth it.

It did cover the sore and protect it. However it also made it much larger and burnt all the area around the sore as well. Also packaging wasn't from this country so I question whether it's even approved for use in USA
