<p>A method for treating a mouth sore opposite a tooth by adhering an oral patch on the tooth to speed healing and relieve pain. The oral patch is placed either directly on the portion of the tooth that comes into contact with the sore or is first place onto the sore and then adhered to the tooth. The patch may be a blob of hydrophilic gums. If certain medications are applied to a mouth sore using an oral patch that delivers the medication for at least 30 minutes and the patches are used for at least two or more hours per day, the method reduces the healing time for mouth sores from typical 10-14 days to 1-5 days. The method can be used with various antimicrobials, glucocorticoids or anthihistamines incorporated into the patch that reduce inflammation or speed the healing of mouth sores.</p> |
