you have lots of company. Each year one in five Americans experience these painful mouth ulcers, some a few times a year—spending millions of dollars in the process on topical gels and overthe-counter antiseptics. The problem with these treatments, though, is that they need to be reapplied fouror five times a day just for temporary relief and do little to reduce the natural healing process. Happily, dentists now have a prescription medication that can stop the pain of canker sores immediately and cut the healing time in half. The prescription-only topical solution dentists are using, called DEBACTEROL, safely relieves the pain from canker sores within five seconds. The treatment is simple. The dentist applies the medication with a pre-filled swab that forms a protective layer over the surface of the uleer. A single application of DEBACTEROL is designed to selectively eliminate infectious tissue without damaging healthy oral tissue through a chemical cauterization process. It seals the damaged area, kills the bacteria and begins replacing the lesion with new tissue. The medication reduces the tion that relieves the pain of canker sores in seconds and cuts healing timein half. normal healing time from 10-14 days to three to five days. No other treatment is required. Although this medication has been used for decades and has a proven track record for healing canker sores and instantly relieving the pain, few patients know about it or ask their dentists for it. A DEBACTEROL treatmentis covered under most health insurance plans. DEBACTEROLis exclusively distributed by Sullivan-Schein Dental, the U.S. dental business of Henry Schein, Inc., which is the largest provider of healthcare products and services in North America and Europe.
