Oracoat CankerMelts Stick-On Melts Canker Sore Treatment for Mouth Sores with 15mg Benzocaine, Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin E

I developed canker sores a couple days ago and I've been in so much pain, making it difficult to eat or drink (unless it's through a straw). I ordered these on a whelm so I can have some relief, and I must say they are very effective. I woke up from my nap with no pain. I was afraid I couldn't swallow it so I would spit it out. But I believe it's injectable. The adhesiveness does stick, so when you put it on it won't move like the gorilla glue lady. lol They are very easy to use, and it was worth my money. I have two on my jar line giving me problems, if I can get those two down first, I'll be a happy person. So, with these I'll be able to accomplish that.

I have had extreme problems with lip cankers. This product helped heal the canker and dulled the pain. Long lasting and stays in place when applied. There is a slight slight flavor when first applied. Highly recommend

I bought the OraCoat CankerMelts thinking they featured hyaluronic acid & vitamin B12 just like the wonderful canker-healing discs called Renewing Melts, which OraCoat discontinued last year. I liked the Renewing Melts because they *really worked* both to address the pain (by patching over the sore) and because they helped heal it naturally. And they contained no mint, which is important to me and so many others who use homeopathy. The description on Amazon did not mention the mint, so I was very disappointed to open up the package and find it reeking of mint, making it useless to me. It is such a pity that OraCoat discontinued the safe, highly effecting Renewing Melts then produced these instead. The benzocaine is not only unneeded (the hyaluronic acid/B12 tabs also addressed pain effectively), but it its also potentially dangerous. Here's what Wikipedia says about oral use of this nerve-numbing ingredient: "... there have been reports of serious, life-threatening adverse effects (e.g., seizures, coma, irregular heart beat, respiratory depression) with over-application of topical products or when applying topical products that contain high concentrations of benzocaine to the skin.[20] "Overapplication of oral anesthetics such as benzocaine can increase the risk of pulmonary aspiration by relaxing the gag-reflex and allowing regurgitated stomach contents or oral secretions to enter the airway. Applying an oral anesthetic and consuming beverages before going to bed can be particularly hazardous. "The topical use of higher concentration (10–20%) benzocaine products applied to the mouth or mucous membranes has been found to be a cause of methemoglobinemia, a disorder in which the amount of oxygen carried by the blood is greatly reduced." In spite of the potential danger, OraCoat even suggests that these CankerMelts, which contain 15mg. of benzocaine, can be used while sleeping. I don't think this product should even be on the market, let alone be used while sleeping.

These help but they aren’t as good as canker cover. They get all big and jelly and slimy and sticky within an hour or so.

Arrived securely. Sticks well. Tastes chalky. Effective in short term pain relief but leaves residue on your teeth.

If you have a canker sore get these. It’s long lasting and helps with pain relief without the horrible taste. They do not cause irritation to the mouth like the liquid oragel

These things are amazing!! They work so well to ease the pain. I stick it to a lower tooth and it numbs my cheek so I can sleep. Fair warning - it works WELL. My face does go a bit numb on that side.

I get canker sores at least once a month and these are a life saver. They’re really only practical to use while sleeping since talking or moving your mouth can prevent them from sticking and staying effective but a great purchase nonetheless.
