Orabase Protective Paste - 30G

Orabase Protective Paste for Mouth Ulcers and Oral Irritation

You can rely on this protective paste to create a barrier over mouth ulcers, cuts, and sore areas inside your mouth. The paste adheres to moist oral tissues, forming a protective layer that shields damaged areas from further irritation whilst they heal naturally.

This formulation contains carmellose sodium, which forms a gel-like coating when it comes into contact with saliva. The paste stays in place longer than liquid treatments, providing extended protection for sensitive oral tissues.

How This Protective Barrier Works

When you apply the paste to affected areas, it creates a physical barrier that protects exposed nerve endings from contact with food, drink, and saliva. This barrier effect helps reduce pain and discomfort whilst allowing the natural healing process to continue undisturbed.

The paste's adhesive properties mean it remains in contact with the affected tissue for several hours, providing sustained protection. Unlike rinses or gels that wash away quickly, this formulation maintains its protective effect even during eating and drinking.

Who Can Benefit from This Treatment

This paste suits adults and children over 6 years who experience recurring mouth ulcers, minor cuts from dental work, or irritation from ill-fitting dentures. You may find it particularly helpful if you frequently develop orabase protective paste applications for persistent oral discomfort.

The treatment works well for various oral conditions including:

• Aphthous ulcers (canker sores)
• Minor cuts and abrasions inside the mouth
• Irritation from braces or dental appliances
• Sore spots caused by dentures

You can use this alongside other first aid treatments as part of your oral care routine.

Why This Preservative-Free Formula Matters

This paste contains no preservatives, reducing the risk of additional irritation to already sensitive oral tissues. Preservative-free formulations are particularly important for mouth treatments, as the oral cavity is highly sensitive to chemical additives that might cause further inflammation.

The absence of preservatives makes this treatment suitable for people with sensitive mouths or those who have experienced reactions to other oral care products. The simple formulation focuses on providing effective protection without unnecessary additives.

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

You should store this paste at room temperature and replace the cap tightly after each use to maintain its consistency. The 30g tube provides multiple applications, with each tube typically lasting several weeks depending on frequency of use.

Check the expiry date before use and discard any unused paste after the stated date. The preservative-free nature means proper storage is essential to maintain the product's effectiveness and safety.
