How does this compare to silver nitrate sticks? I've had a lot of success with those, unless the canker is located on the tongue. Not sure why.

All I can tell you is that Canker-rid worked far better than I expected it too. I was very skeptical of its claims, but it was great and well worth the cost. I am not sure we can buy silver nitrate sticks in our drug stores.

This is a unknown fact you have brought to my attention. Bad breath has not been an issue for me at this time.Only have been using about 5 months. Sorry, not any help for your issue.

Hi Mary! We had no problem with smearing, but it was probably a week later that I spit on it and tried to smear it. You might try that first. Just guessing that ScotchGard might do the same thing as spit, since it is a liquid. Good luck with the experiments!

I suggest you stick with oral b brand . The oem look alikes don't work well. I get a large pack at Costco and they last for years.

Serco only recommends their nails. I have tried other brands and had no problems, but may a few jams. However I can not be sure if it was the brand or my use. If you have other brands try them; what have you got to lose? Jams are easily removed.

I recently got instamorph and It doesnt expand like I hear temp tooth does on cooling so it is hard to get it to stay in place, I am still working on something that will work better. I would be embarrassed if it fell out while talking to a client. It does stain well and is very easy to mold into a real looking tooth. it is fun to play with as well.

My two girls (collie mix and pitt mix) have been gnawing on these since October. They have had no broken teeth. In fact, they're oral hygiene has improved significantly! No more plaque! We've had elk horns too and the benebone is definitely softer, but still sturdy enough to last for a long time. I'd say it's a great change from the elk horn!

Stannous fluoride, unlike other flourides, has a tendency to inhibit the growth of bacteria which are involved in gum disease. As a result, the plaque is less toxic to the gums. All things being equal (e.g. flossing, brushing, dental visits), you should do better with a toothpaste with stannous fluoride. The reason why most toothpastes use sodium fluoride instead of stannous fluoride is because the latter tends to cause light staining of the teeth over time. You got a choice of health or aesthetics. Source: I'm a dentist. I just searched for your answer. My dentist tells me that GelKam stains teeth. However, so does red wine, blue berries, and other foods. I use this product to protect my teeth and have used it for years. I have no gingivitis or cavities and always have great check ups. I recommend it for use and now my husband uses it. It is just one more product to help keep your teeth healthy.

I looked up 'bleeding gums' and could see that there can be several causes. I would try this, because it seems to work well at fighting inflammation. But also see a dentist. I can tell you that I have had several flare-ups with three teeth that were bothering me. Two are fine now! & one is a little sensitive. Took a few months, but anytime they bothered me I used garlic slices & turmeric. So, although the dentist recommended a total of 3 root canals, I'm not planning on having any. Flossing is also important! and only takes a few minutes each night. In addition to using this toothpaste several times a day, have also rubbed turmeric powder on the gums before falling asleep. It's a natural remedy & spice used for thousands of years. It works to stop the inflammation. Can also put slices of garlic on the gums for 20 mins, don't swallow (use a tissue if you need to ), then rinse. Sometimes it stings a little, but really well worth it as it absorbs bacteria. I've just ordered this same brand of Neem mouthwash. (vitacost.com) Good luck!

This product is thinner than toothpaste. I tried using it as toothpaste, but I quickly abandoned that effort. It's better used as a tongue gel. Toothpaste has more substance to it.

my sticker came off pretty easy. I have googled before how to get sticky off of items left by stickers and I have always found Dawn Dish liquid to work with a mild abrasive sponge. I read vinegar works and WD-40 can help too. Peanut butter (same as when you use it to get gum out of things like your hair). Maybe google and find out other methods but it came off pretty easy for me for some reason.

If it's regular dental care just swish a small amount a few seconds after brushing. If there is a gingivitis or periodontal issue use a tablespoon swish and hold as long as you can stand it. You can also put some on a cotton makeup pad cut up and hold it on a spot for a while. I've also found that a product called Oregadent by North American Herb and Spice heals! (In addition to silver) ;)

I followed the directions on the bottle.... The plaque on my dogs teeth was very bad... The directions said 4 pumps per quart for 4 weeks.. Then 2 pumps per quart thereafter. After one month the plaque was gone. I mix 2 pumps per quart of filtered water. I store the dogs water in a quart bottle in the fridge... Wife says a quart lasts about a week... When her bowl is almost empty we clean the bowl and add the Boiotene mix... We have a MiniPin, 8yrs old. Her teeth are very clean nad her breath is sweet.. Before Biotene she was getting bad breath and plaque filled teeth....We are very pleased with the product... I followed the directions on the bottle.... The plaque on my dogs teeth was very bad...

I have the silver, sprayed it with PAM, just in case, it works fine after only spraying one time, and using a tooth brush to clean cooked on batter. Comes clean every time. I don't think you need to "season", works fine. Instructions enclosed.

I use a brand of bleach called opalence (I think thats how you spell it) I leave it on for an hour and then brush lightly so I dont irritate my gums or anything. The brand that came with the impressions I havent use it yet but im sure its the same......same strength. I suggest puttin vaseline on ur gums before hand. If you think about it, if you go to the dentist for impressions they cost way way more than this that comes with the bleach and the impressions. You have a good deal with this. I hope I answered your concerns :)

I sprayed a bit, but it seemed to not be necessary. Though, I did think the next time I use I will use a bit of the vegan (healthier butter) just to ad flavor. I thought of it as though if I made a grilled cheese in a nice pan and didn't need to use anything to prevent stick or if I added butter to make my grilled cheese, I personally would think the butter one tasted better. Hope this helps. I do feel the nonstick product would be enough without help.

Toothier than store brands. I have to cook longer, and with a bit more fluids. But I purchased these for their high fiber content so it works well for me. Just as tasty :) and more fiber! Hope this helps.
