 Helps ease the pain, 2008-05-31
I have searched for a long time for a product to help with mouth ulcers. This product works the best so far. The only problem I see is sometimes it is hard to reach ulcer to place product on.

Great product!, 2008-02-08
These really do work. It's a bit difficult to get them to stick to the tongue, but it's the only thing that has worked for me. They do shorten the time I have an ulcer and usually they're smaller than a few years ago before I found out about Cankermelts.

 major healing in < 12 hrs. I think jesus invented these., 2007-12-22
After spending a full week in pain, to the point where 6-8 Advil a day made little difference, I read reviews for this product (in a different size) and decided to give it a try.
The box says it works best to prevent sores from forming, but it worked wonders on my fully-developed canker sore, which was about the size of a dime on the inside of my lower lip, and sliced through the middle so that nerve endings were exposed -- (sorry; I know that's really gross, but seriously, it was excruciating). After 2 hours I felt a numbing relief; after 6 hours I could tell the canker sore had started to heal over; and a few hours after that, the sore had developed a protective blister-like covering over it, and I could actually eat solid foods again after a week of Starbucks and Jamba Juice (boy was I hungry and cranky this week, esp. since even drinking through straws hurt).
I was diligent about putting the discs consecutively, using 5-6 in 10 hours -- the amazing recovery is well worth it. This product actually heals canker sores. The last product I used (Orabase by Colgate) actually aggravated the sore because it was essentially like applying nail glue to the raw surface -- incredibly painful and traumatic when it dislodged, which it did after 30 minutes at best.
Note: Cankermelts are not a liquid, but Necco Wafer-like discs, ranging from about 3/8" to 5/8" in diameter. Some may find them a bit awkward to manuveur at first, esp. if your sores are pretty small, but I encourage you to read the directions carefully, and give them a shot. In addition to actually healing the sores, the active ingredient in these are licorice root, not 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (aka nail glue) like in Orabase. I'll take a mild licorice taste over toxic glue any day. Whoever invented this product deserves a medal, or, at the very least (seeing as no "healer of disgusting canker sores" medal exists), to sell a billion of these. I'm stocking up on them like Cold-Eeze.

Cankermelts for Mouth Sores, 2007-05-07
Cankermelts promote healing inside the mouth. I suck one when I feel a rash of sores coming on. The cankermelts are both preventative and restorative (for after sores show up).
Cankermelts were developed for canker sores, but I use them for apthos and apthos-like sores that I get.

 There's better stuff available, 2007-01-12
These did nothing for me. Ask your doctor about aphthasol, a prescription drug approved by the FDA -- which means it's passed rigorous government testing standards. Aphthasol changed my life.
