What is the best OTC product for canker sores/mouth cuts and sores associated with braces?

Question

Is there a good one that lasts for a long time (a couple hours)?

Thanks!

Answer 1

"Glyoxide", available OTC, best I've found for any mouth related sore or infection.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, due to the production of saliva in your mouth, most of topical applications gets washed away, however, anbesol or orajel is your best bet for temporary relief.  A good rinse with warm salt water after every meal will help as well.

If you are having major issues with this, I would notify your orthodontist.  Perhaps he/she can make some adjustments to your braces so they aren't causing you so much pain.

Answer 3

Carbosan Gel....available in Europe, not sure about the US....  

Answer 4

Yes, try these:

For Mouth Pain due to Canker Sores, Biting or Burns

• Zilactin-B by Zila Pharmaceuticals

• OraBase by Colgate

• Rincinol P.R.N. by John O. Butler

• Orajel—Mouth Sore Medicine Gel or Discs by Orajel Co.

• Available over the counter at most pharmacies.

• If the lesion does not heal in 10-14 days please call for an appointment to have it checked.

The discs would probably last the longest, or the orabase...
