Instructions for Patients
©2001 SQUIGLE, Inc.         last revision July 22, 2002

These instructions are provided as a guide to patients who have been diagnosed by a physician or dentist. These Instructions are the result of many discussions with patients, physicians, and dentists. They are not rigid and unchanging. Of course, we hope they work for you. But if they don't, please contact SQUIGLE, Inc. toll-free at 1-877-718-0718 (9 am to 5 pm EST).

  • This is crucial: Use only Squigle® Enamel Saver® Toothpaste or Tooth Builder® Toothpaste. These patented toothpastes are free of SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and other irritating ingredients which contribute to bad breath. Squigle's mild flavor and Tooth Builder's 'no flavor added' formula aid in the prevention of irritation to delicate tissues. Squigle® and Tooth Builder® have 36% Xylitol to prevent plaque and cavities better than regular toothpaste.

  • If you feel you need to use mouthwash, use 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate (prescription antimicrobial rinse) twice a day as needed.

  • Floss at least once a day, before you brush. Use unwaxed floss. If your teeth are closely spaced, use Glide® Floss. If your ulcers are too painful to use floss, use an oral irrigator.

  • If possible, gently brush your tongue, roof of mouth, and inside of cheeks with a soft bristled, small headed brush. This will further reduce the amount of irritating plaque in your mouth.

  • No baking soda -- it only makes matters worse.

  • No chewing gum, especially no cinnamon or spearmint. One exception (see below). Don't use candy or breath mints, especially cinnamon or spearmint.

  • For terrible attacks, try oral cortisone (methyl prednisolone dose pack -- prescription required).

  • A short course of oral tetracycline is OK. So is a short course of antifungal therapy or antiviral therapy.

  • Take a multivitamin + multimineral daily, after a meal. (Solgar VM-75® is OK). In addition, take 500 mg to 1000 mg vitamin C daily. Get sufficient rest each night.

  • Visit an allergist to get tested for food allergies and sensitivities. Then avoid any foods you are allergic to or sensitive to.

  • If you get any painful canker sores, they can be treated by applying ORA5® mild cauterizing agent (McHenry Laboratories, Inc., Copperas Cove, TX).

  • If you still persist in getting life-disrupting canker sores, and you do not use tobacco in any form, try chewing a nicotine gum such as Nicorette® (four 2 mg tablets per day -- this is equivalent to smoking one cigarette per day). [see: R. Bittoun, The Medical Journal of Australia, vol.154, page 471 (1991)]
