Whether through personal experience, a family member or your friends and co-workers, you are all too familiar with the tremendous pain associated with Oral Herpetic lesions know as "Fever Blisters or "Cold Sores". The pain is both physical and emotional. They appear at the edge of the lip or nose and are typically caused by herpes simplex type I virus.
I have had literally hundreds of patients, family and friends come to me for advice an/or treatment for fever blisters. Unfortunately, there has been little that could be done to effectively treat this problem. Over 150,000,000 Americans suffer from Cold sores/Fever Blisters.
We are now aware of a tremendously effective treatment available to dentists. "Viroxyn" has shown to be superior to other topical agents rapidly reducing the pain, itching and burning associated with this type of lesion if caught at early onset. It also eliminates the side effects of taking systemic nucleosides like "Zovirex" and "Valtrex."
Just as painful are those that form inside the mouth know as "Aphthous Ulcers" aka "Canker Sores." For those who suffer from canker sores, visit the website, www.ora5.com ----they make a very effective product for this type of lesion. Or on your next visit if you have a question or concern in regards to this information ask your hygienist. 866-76 SMILE
