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 product. 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.

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.

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!

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.

Time release glycyrrhiza extract to releave pain and promote healing.

Cankermelts-GX is a new development in mouth ulcer treatment. Each pack contains 18 self-adhering disks 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.

Emergency Treatment for existing Mouth Ulcers.

Oralmedic is the long awaited version of Debacterol that has now been approved here in the UK.

Unlike others, Oralmedic is a one hit treatment. One application eliminates the mouth ulcer pain, and after a day 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?

Oralmedic contains a patented formulation derived from HYBENX™ technology. HYBENX formulations are selective in removing damaged oral mucosal tissues from the ulcer site after application. Oralmedic seeks out and attacks dead or damaged tissue.

It then reacts within seconds with the damaged tissue to create a seal or barrier over the site, thus facilitating the healing process and preventing further infection.

Oralmedic extracts water from damaged tissues and creates a seal. This protects the site, preventing contamination and aids the healing process.

It was four years ago now 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 Oralmedic 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.

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.

Chlorhexedine anti-microbial with no discolouration.

Curasept is a revolutionary chlorhexidine di-gluconate mouthwash that protects gums and teeth from attack by harmful bacteria, and the build up of plaque.

Curasept can be used to assist treatment of the following:

• Mouth ulcers
• Gingivitis
• Periodontitis
• Receding Gums
• Care after oral surgery
• Caries

It is revolutionary in that, unlike other popular chlorhexidine preparations, such as Corsodyl... Curasept:

• Contains no alcohol, and therefore does not cause further irritation to ulceration or other mucosal complaints.

• Contains no sugar.

• Has a unique anti-discolouration system to mostly eliminate the discolouration caused by the Chlorhexidine.

• Causes negligible change in taste perception, itself having a mild minty flavour.

• The pH is 6.2 to protect tooth enamel.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Those who would otherwise avoid chlorhexidine products can now enjoy the benefits of chlorhexidine in a more acceptable form.

Chlorhexidine di-gluconate has been established in Europe as the oral antimicrobial of choice for over 30 years, what Curasept has done is really bring this preparation up to date with no more discolouration to teeth, tongue and gums, and gone is the vile taste of traditional preparations. It looks green in the yellow bottle, but when it comes out it is actually blue, I like that.

Chlorhexedine anti-microbial gel with no discolouration.

Curasept Parodontal Gel is a new topical gingival treatment offering all the benefits of Curasept Mouth Rinse but in a higher strength gel.

It contains 0.5% chlorhexidine, and is intended for short-term, intensive use and offers effective protection against plaque and caries.

Suitable for help with:

• Mouth ulcers
• Gingivitis
• Periodontitis
• Receding Gums
• Care after oral surgery
• Caries

The gel is alcohol and sugar free and also has the unique anti-discolouration system which greatly reduces tooth discolouration and the unpleasant changes in taste perception associated with traditional chlorhexidine products. To protect tooth enamel the pH is 6.2

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Those who would otherwise avoid chlorhexidine products can now enjoy the benefits of chlorhexidine in a more acceptable form.

Curasept Gel will help to prevent post-treatment and post-operative complications when used before or after dental treatment, including endodontic and implant procedures.

Chlorhexidine di-gluconate has been established in Europe as the oral antimicrobial of choice for over 30 years, what Curasept has done is really bring this preparation up to date with no more discolouration to teeth, tongue and gums, and gone is the vile taste of traditional preparations. This higher strength gel is excellent for helping to control flare-ups, and in my case with a problem wisdom tooth.

Anaesthetic rinse for prompt relief of pain.

Ulcerease is a liquid anaesthetic mouth rinse containing NO alcohol, NO sugar, NO artificial colourings or flavourings. It does not sting at all upon application.

A single source product with the active ingredient 0.6% phenol. It is very effective as an anaesthetic, buffering, and cleansing agent.

For prompt relief of pain due to mouth and upper throat irritations:

• Drug Therapy Ulcers
• Chemotherapy Ulcers
• Mouth Ulcers (canker sores, recurrent aphthous stomatitis)
• Mouth Dryness
• Irritations from Braces
• Irritations from Dentures

pH is 7.8 - 8.3 to help reduce acidity in the mouth.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

For adults and children over 12 years of age (suitable for children aged 4 months - 12 years when applied with a clean swab).

This stuff really works, for severe ulcers and mouth/upper throat pain it provides a very welcome break from the contant pain, the full effect probably lasts about 15 minutes with residual relief for up to an hour.

A patch to releive 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.

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).

Warning: Consult your doctor before taking Lysine when pregnant or taking antibiotics.

Each tablet contains (average) L-Lysine hydrochloride 500mg

Free from yeast, gluten, salt, preservatives, artificial colouring & flavouring.

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.

Top of the range manual toothbrushes

The Oral-B® CrossAction® Vitalizer™ 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.
• Patented blue Indicator® bristles that fade with use to signal that it is time to replace the brush.
• Wide rubbery grip handle for ease of use.

Available in four translucent handle colors: aqua (light blue), raspberry (pink), indigo (dark blue), chartreuse (bright green). There is also the choice of medium or soft bristle, let me know your preference (on the order form if by post, or in the other information box when ordering on-line).

I found these brushes in the Oral-B specialist section, I don't believe they are available in the high street. They have plastic bobbles to stimulate the gums, I don't know if the bobbles really help or not, but they are certainly good tooth brushes, and I sell them for the same price as the ones without the bobbles.

The mirror itself is glass. Overall length 160mm. Each mirror is hygienically sealed in it's own wrapper. Think you clean your teeth well? First time you use one of these you may need to reconsider!

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 yellow handles.
