Welcome to the Mouth Ulcers Shop

The best toothpaste money can buy, guaranteed, or your money back

Squigle Enamel Saver uses a unique super-mild detergent instead of using irritating sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or cocamidopropyl betaine (CPB), that are used in other toothpastes (so mild in-fact that it is also used to make artificial tears).

It is made with 36% by weight of natural Xylitol, that is many times more xylitol than any other toothpaste. Xylitol has a powerful antibacterial action, particularly inhibiting the growth of Strep Mutans, the main bacteria responsible for cavities and other oral complaints. Xylitol boosts the effect of fluoride by reducing plaque and plaque acids.

Enamel Saver has a mild peppermint flavour and contains fluoride (if you are looking for a toothpaste free of any flavouring and containing no fluoride try Tooth Builder).

It has no harsh abrasives, no irritating tartar control agents and no bleaches.

Squigle Enamel Saver is clinically proven to help sufferers of:

• Mouth ulcers (canker sores, recurrent aphthous stomatitis)
• Bad breath (simple halitosis)
• Gum disease (periodontal disease)
• Bleeding gums, gingivitis
• Oral Lichen Planus
• Mouth ulcers caused by cancer treatments (oral mucositis)
• Perioral dermatitis
• Plaque, tartar, cavities
• Surface stain

It tastes great too, and now comes with a 100% guarantee of satisfaction or your money back

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans, mild peppermint flavour.

This product crops up frequently on the Mouth Ulcers Home Page message board. Its' inventor, Dr Edward Cutler, was one of the first to champion the anti-SLS cause. He has freely provided much useful information and advice. In my opinion this toothpaste is the best, it has really helped to get my own mouth ulcers under control. A lot of customers are buying this toothpaste as a treatment for perioral dermatitis. I think everyone should use this toothpaste, even if they don't think they have anything wrong with their mouth!

Hypoallergenic toothpaste prevents sensitive teeth, fluoride free

Tooth Builder uses calcite nano-particles to seal off the open tubules in your teeth, eliminating the primary cause of tooth sensitivity.

• No fluoride
• No flavouring
• No SLS

Tooth Builder has a patented super-mild detergent, instead of using sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), cocamidopropyl betaine (CPB) or irritating detergents found in other toothpastes. Tooth Builder's detergent is so mild it is used in artificial tears.

Tooth Builder has no harsh abrasives, no irritating tartar control agents and no bleaches.

Conventional tooth sensitivity toothpastes contain potassium nitrate, which works as a local anaesthetic, calming sensitive tooth nerves. This kind of treatment is not as effective as stopping tooth sensitivity by eliminating the cause - by sealing the open dentinal tubules, the way Tooth Builder does.

Tooth Builder has a massive 36% natural Xylitol - far more than any other toothpaste. Xylitol has a powerful antibacterial action, particularly inhibiting the growth of Strep Mutans, the main bacteria responsible for cavities and other oral complaints. Xylitol reduces plaque, plaque acids and tartar.

Tooth Builder Toothpaste fights or prevents:

• Tooth Sensitivity
• Mouth ulcers (canker sores, recurrent aphthous stomatitis)
• Plaque, tartar, cavities
• Bad breath (simple halitosis)
• Gum disease (periodontal disease)
• Perioral dermatitis
• Chapped Lips
• Surface stain

Ingredients: 36% natural Xylitol, purified water, calcite, glycerin, poloxamer, cellulose gum, Methocel®, calcium propionate, lactoferrin.

100% guarantee of satisfaction or your money back

This latest superb offering from Squigle Inc. heals sensitive teeth with calcite nano-particles, it is fluoride-free, and has 36% Xylitol and the same ultra-mild detergent.

Xylitol provides a well documented antibacterial action, particularly inhibiting the growth of Strep Mutans, the main bacteria responsible for cavities and other oral complaints. Xylitol boosts the effect of fluoride by reducing plaque and plaque acids. Here it is in an innovative preparation, it sticks to the inside of your mouth and gradually releases xylitol of a period of time, this is really helpful for preventing dry-mouth caused by Sjögrens and the like.

Emergency Treatment for Mouth Ulcers

Oralmedic contains Epien's HybenX formulation, as used in Debacterol, Bonjela Once and Boots and Galpharm Mouth Ulcer Treatments.

Oralmedic is a one hit treatment. One application eliminates the mouth ulcer pain, and after a few days or so all sign of it is gone.

Each pack contains two treatments, consisting of two normal cotton buds and two medicated ones. Simply snap one end of a medicated stick to allow Oralmedic to permeate the cotton bud, dry the ulcer with the normal cotton bud, then apply the Oralmedic. As well as pain relief within seconds Oralmedic seals the infected area, so promoting natural healing.

How does it actually work?

HybenX formulations are selective in removing damaged oral mucosal tissues from the ulcer site after application.

Oralmedic reacts within seconds with damaged tissue to create a seal over the ulcer site, facilitating the healing process and preventing further infection.

For further information visit www.oralmedic.co.uk.

Ingredients: Hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid, hydroxymethoxybenzenesulphonic acid, sulphuric acid, water, FD&C Red 40.
 

It was back in 2003 when I was first talking to Reg Dupre about Debacterol, now at last, it is here. This stuff does work. How effective it is, is directly related to how well you apply it - practice the movements first so you get it right first time (I mean it, this is important). You need to get the ulcer dry and then coated, and you do not want to get it all over the rest of your mouth either. Once you hit the spot it will smart like the Holy Mother of smarting things, but not for very long, thereafter rinse your mouth and if you did it right no more pain and the ulcer will be gone in a couple of days. I think you would want to strike early, by the time an ulcer has become a gargantuan crater with a ravine at the bottom poking about with a dry cotton bud may be too much, let alone the treatment!

Oraldiet probiotic with Lactobacillus reuteri

A balanced oral environment is essential for healthy teeth and gums, just as it is for overall wellbeing.

Your mouth contains approximately 700 types of bacteria (oral microflora) that in normal conditions are well balanced and work together as a natural defense system for the mouth. Stress, illness, poor diets or inadequate oral hygiene can disrupt this protective oral balance and allow mouth ulcers to thrive as well as causing poor gum health, plaque buildup and other oral complaints.

Oraldiet will help restore the oral mouth flora. The vitamins, aloe vera and lactobacillus reuteri work together to flight all the symptoms that inadequate oral hygiene creates; poor gum health, accumulation of plaque, periodontal disease, gingivitis and bad breath. It is recommended for the prevention of mouth ulcers, mouth conditions, infections and the prevention of mycosis after a course of antibiotics.

200 million Lactobacillus Reuteri
This probiotic restores the mouths natural flora and the sensitivity symptoms that can occur. The probiotic binds to saliva and fights bacteria causing bad breath, reduces plaque formation.

Aloe vera
Aloe Vera is rich in enzymes that stimulate the immune system It is a natural source of vitamins which has a positive impact on intestinal flora. As well as its healing and protective properties it is also an anti-inflammatory & analgesic.

Xylitol
Xylitol has a powerful antibacterial action, particularly inhibiting the growth of Strep Mutans, the main bacteria responsible for cavities and other oral complaints. Xylitol reduces plaque, plaque acids and tartar.

Isomalt
Made from pure unbleached beet sugar, it is tooth friendly, low in calorie and low glycemic.

No artificial flavours or preservatives. No added salt or colour. GMO free. Suitable for vegetarians.

Probiotics such as Acidophilus, the well known brands of probiotic yoghurt drinks and natural yoghurt have been mentioned frequently on the message board. I used to sell Acidophilus but you can buy it anywhere now. I think probiotics are an excellent way of maintaining good digestive health, and Oraldiet actually works inside the mouth... and all the way down. It is less than half the price of the one I used to stock.

Pain relieving protective film

Eat comfortably within 30 minutes of applying.

Bye Mouth Ulcer! is a mouth ulcer treatment that forms a protective layer over mouth ulcers and immediately relieves the pain.

Bye Mouth Ulcer! offers:

• Immediate pain relief

Bye Mouth Ulcer! is a film-forming gel for the local treatment of ulcers in the mouth. It provides a pain free treatment and reduces the burning sensation. The ingredients in Bye Mouth Ulcer! each have their own influence in the treatment and disappearance of mouth ulcers.

Bye Mouth Ulcer! uses a mix of film builders to provide a protective, water-resistant and breathable film over the mouth ulcer which immediately gives relief. In addition, it protects against negative, external influences and softens and elasticises the skin.

The ingredients in Bye Mouth Ulcer! are not absorbed by the body. It is so well tolerated that it is suitable for children as young as 3 years old.

A patch to relieve pain and promote healing

Just one patch is enough to heal most mouth ulcers.
Covers and Protects the Sore for 8 - 12 Hours.

• Immediate Pain Relief
• Sticks to any mouth ulcer and becomes
   a clear gel patch
• Stays on comfortably for 8 to 12 hours,
   then dissolves
• Protects the sore - stops pain from food, drink
   and irritants.
• Doesn't come off while eating
• Freshens breath

Canker Cover is small tablet-like patch made from edible ingredients. It sticks to the mouth ulcer within seconds and lasts for up to 8 hours.

Shortly after it is placed on the mouth ulcer, the patch becomes gel-like. It absorbs fluids from the ulcer as part of the healing process. The patch will stick to the affected area and cover the ulcer for 6 - 8 hours.

Then it dissolves by itself. In most cases, a single patch will eliminate the mouth ulcer completely, according to a recent study.

Canker Cover works in three ways:

1. The natural ingredients in Canker Cover speed healing. Most mouth ulcers are eliminated with a single patch.

2. Canker Cover "seals" and isolates the mouth ulcer from contact with the tongue, teeth, and food. No other products protect so thoroughly for eight hours.

3. Canker Cover provides immediate and long lasting pain relief by steadily releasing pain-numbing menthol, beta-carotene and other natural ingredients onto the mouth ulcer.

Warnings: Not suitable for children under 5 years of age. Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription drugs.

Guaranteed free from: sugar, glucose, lactose and preservatives. Less than 1 calorie.

I have been asked for this product a lot, it has menthol for pain relief and xylitol among other ingredients to help healing. The physical barrier reduces pain and limits further physical damage and bacterial ingress.

Time release glycyrrhiza extract to relieve pain and promote healing

Cankermelts-GX is a new development in mouth ulcer treatment. Each pack contains 18 self-adhering discs that deliver liquorice extract (glycyrrhiza) right on to an ulcer for 2 to 6 hours as they dissolve.

• Heals new ulcers in 1-4 days or your money back.
• Relieves pain in minutes without numbing.
• Convenient to use and pleasant tasting.
• All natural treatment.

In a study of its effectiveness, sufferers of mouth ulcers using Cankermelts-GX for 16 hours per day reported 96% of their sores healed in 1-3 days and reported their pain was relieved in minutes.

Place a dry disk on or near a mouth ulcer with your tongue or finger. It begins adhering by itself and is firmly in place after a few minutes. So long as the ulcer is not located in an area that directly involves eating or speaking, the mild flavoured disk will not interfere with chewing, talking or the taste of food.

INGREDIENTS: (average per disc): 30 mg Glycyrrhiza extract (GX) (includes 1.4 mg glycyrrhizin) hydrophilic gums and potassium.

CONTAINS NO fat, salt, gluten, artificial flavors, artificial colors, preservatives, products of nuts, corn, wheat rice, grain, soy, egg, fish, shellfish, milk ,or yeast.

Warning: Cankermelts-GX are not recommended for children under 6 due to the risk of choking.

Liquorice and liquorice extract have been popular topics on the message board and surveys. The medical benefits are well known and clinically proven. With this product Orahealth have created a manageable way to apply a therapeutic quantitiy direct to the ulcer site in a time-release patch.

Hyaluronan controls inflammation and promotes healing

Gengigel contains hyaluronan (a natural substance found in the connective tissues of the body). It controls inflammation and stimulates the production of new healthy tissue. To protect tooth enamel the pH is 6.5

Gengigel has no contraindications and is safe to use in pregnancy, with diabetes and is suitable for young children.

Gengigel can be used in the treatment of:

• Mouth ulcers
• Gingivitis
• Periodontitis
• Receding Gums
• Care after oral surgery
• Oral lichen planus

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

In trials at the University of Rostock in Germany, scientists found it can boost tissue healing by up to a half, increase blood supply and reduce inflammation. Hyaluronan, the active agent in Gengigel, has been used for years by doctors to boost regrowth of connective tissue throughout the body.

Applying hyaluronan as a mouth rinse or gel strengthens cell walls and gets cells to stick together. The tissue grows back faster, while being able to resist re-infection.

The Gel is quite viscous and quite easy to apply to specific areas of ulceration or trauma.  The Mouth Rinse is supplied with a measuring cup and is ideal for broad application or reaching those hard to get at places.

Gengigel is mentioned often on the message board - indeed Richard Thomas (MD of Oraldent, the manufacturer) offered free samples to visitors of the site a while back. Gengigel consistently performs well in clinical trials. Personally I have found it excellent for preventing ulceration to any cuts or abrasions in the mouth.

L-Lysine tablets to help boost your immune system

Lysine is an essential amino acid and is a basic building block of all protein. This nutrient was first isolated in 1889 from casein. It is believed to help maintain a healthy nitrogen balance and also play a role in the absorption of calcium.

Vegan and strict vegetarian diets, using grains as their only source of protein can be deficient in this nutrient (Good natural sources of lysine are cheese, eggs, lime beans, potatoes, milk, meat and brewer's yeast).

L-Lysine can help prevention and healing of:

• Mouth ulcers (canker sores, recurrent aphthous stomatitis)
• Cold sores (herpes simplex).

As well as L-Lysine these tablets also contain 6 other super immune support supplements. Each tablet contains:

L-lysine HCl 500mg
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 33mg
Garlic (odourless) 67mg
Echinacea Extract (4:l PE) 33mg
Propolis 16.7mg
Licorice Extract (4:1 PE) 5mg
Goldenseal Root USP (Hydrastis) 5mg.

Warning: Consult your doctor before taking Super Lysine+ when pregnant, nursing, taking antibiotics or if you suffer with high blood pressure.

Guaranteed free from: yeast, wheat, corn, milk, rye, soy, oats, barley, sugar, starch, preservatives, artificial colour or flavour.

I had never heard of Lysine until it appeared on the message board. It has proven to be a miracle cure for some. 'Budge' was so impressed with it that he donated a new webserver to the site. I too, will not leave home without it! Particularly effective if viral activity is causing or exacerbating your ulcers. The Super Lysine from Quantum has Lysine plus 6 extra supplements that could have been lifted straight from the treatments survey!

Bio-active B12 right where you need it

Avamin Melts are an all-natural daily prevention against mouth ulcers. In clinical studies with subjects who were experiencing an ordinary mouth ulcers at least once a month, 77% of subjects developed fewer sores, had less pain and experienced faster healing.

Clinical studies have shown that, for some people, hyper levels of vitamin B12 results in a lower incidence of painful canker sores. Vitamin B12, as it appears in most supplements, takes the form of cyanocobalamin and must first be processed by the liver before becoming usable by human cells. Avamin Melts include a bioactive form of B12, the same state B12 takes after being processed in the human liver. This makes it instantly usable by the lining cells of the mouth to achieve hyper levels of B12 exactly where it's needed: your mouth.

CONTAINS NO preservatives, colouring, products of nuts, corn, wheat, rice, grain, gluten, soy, egg, fish, shellfish, milk or yeast.

Warning: Not recommended for children under 6 due to the risk of choking.

B-12 is often mentioned in connection with mouth ulcers, and here is a preparation that delivers it right to where it is needed. I think these are an excellent source of B12.

Absolute truth... the very day the first shipment arrived I felt the tingle of a cold sore starting, I used this and the cold sore went before breaking the skin.

Top of the range manual toothbrushes

The Oral-B CrossAction Pro/Complete is the top-of-the-range manual toothbrush.

Product Features:

• Two rows of gum stimulators on either side of the brushhead.
• Proprietary CrissCross bristles are positioned in opposing directions, designed to flex and then straighten, actively penetrating between the teeth and along the gum line to lift out and sweep away plaque.
• Flexible elevated Power Tip at the front of the brushhead to brush hard-to-reach areas.

Please specify your preference in the comments box when you place your order.

I found these brushes in the Oral-B specialist section. I don't know if they are available in the high street. They have plastic bobbles to stimulate the gums. I'm not quite sure how one can use the word "pro" in referenece to a toothbrush but, they are good tooth brushes nevertheless. They also now sport a tongue cleaner on the reverse side of the head, and I sell them for the same price as the ones without the bobbles.

Oral Examination Mirrors

I don't know why the supply of these is so intermittent, but, for the time being they are back again...

Oral examination mirror, just like the dentist uses but with a plastic body.

TIP: If you find the glass gets steamed up in your mouth, heat the mirror up in some hot water or under the hot tap, first.

The current batch have blue handles.
