Triaderm Dental Paste Description

Mouth ulcers can be painful and make it difficult for you to talk and eat. Better known as canker sores, these small lesions can appear on the soft tissue inside your mouth or at the base of your gums. These are not the same as cold sores that are caused by the herpes virus. Canker sores can take up to 2 weeks to go away so it is a good idea to see your doctor for a prescription for Triaderm Dental Paste or generic Triamcinolone Acetate, which is a corticosteroid formula that will help reduce the swelling and inflammation. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Relief from Painful Canker Sores

Press an amount of Triaderm Dental Paste against the sore large enough to cover the affected area or areas and leave it there. The active ingredient will be absorbed into your tissues and works as a corticosteroid to inhibit your immune system and decrease the production of inflammatory chemicals that cause the pain and redness. This is best applied after you have taken a meal or at bedtime. To avoid discomfort in between using Triaderm Dental Paste, you can also eat bland foods and rinse with warm water. Use Triaderm Dental Paste for as long as your doctor has recommended to be certain the sore has healed.

Causes and Risk Factors for Canker Sores

The most common reasons for triggering a mouth sore include brushing your teeth too hard, biting your cheek, food sensitivities such as chocolate, strawberries, or nuts, smoking, or emotional stress. Women tend to get canker sores more often than men thought to be due to hormonal changes during menstruation. Some medical diseases or conditions can also make certain people more prone to canker sores, including those with Celiac disease, Crohn’s, and ulcerative colitis. Applying Triaderm Dental Paste will not stop canker sores from recurring, but it will ease the pain and redness and allow you to talk and eat without hurting.

Before Triaderm Dental Paste is Prescribed

Ask your doctor about any risks of using Triaderm Dental Paste while you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast feeding. Discuss other medical conditions or allergies with your doctor and list any current OTC or Rx drugs you take or use, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements to determine if Triaderm Dental Paste is safe for you to apply.

Triaderm Dental Paste Recommendations

Triaderm Dental Paste is not an antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral medicine so if you feel the mouth sore has become infected, see your doctor for treatment. Wash your hands or fingers before pressing Triaderm Dental Paste to any canker sore to prevent possible infection. Do not share this or any meds with others. Keep Triaderm Dental Paste out of children’s reach and do not store in the bathroom so it will not be mistaken for toothpaste.
