ok, so i have braces and have had them for a while now. but i keep getting really huge and painful mouth ulcers from them so i normally use bonjela for it but it takes a while to clear up. just wondering if there were any other ways to prevent mouth ulcers as they are reallyyyyyy painful!?
Hi _sophie_ it's a shame that you get recurring ulcers and I know how painful they can be. I suggest that you speak to your dentist, sometimes it can be difficult to thoroughly clean your braces and may be building up bacteria. Bonjela "cool" is really good, too.
The problem of mouth ulcers has been widely discussed in AB's Body & Health section.
The universal advice, including that from a pharmacist, is that the only product that really works is 'Adcortyl in Orabase', which is available (without prescription) from any pharmacy.
