Bonjela Cool Mint Gel

Children are notorious for sticking things that they shouldn't into their mouths whether it is pens, pencils, fingers, paint brushes pretty much everything really. They are also equally guilty of eating things too quickly which often results in them either biting their tongues or the sides of their cheeks. I have lost count of the number of times I have hugged a tearful six year old complaining that he has a sore bit inside his mouth which generally turns out to be a painful ulcer. I have tried several lotions and potions over the last year or so and have found the best by far to be a ... more

Product: Bonjela Cool Mint Adult Gel Size: 15g From: Boots Cost: £2.89 I first got the dreaded mouth ulcer around two weeks ago, caused by a bristle catching on my upper gum, ouch.

A few days ago, I had the worst mouth ulcer ever; It was a big massive thing, right on the 'thing' that connects your gum to your lip, so every time I moved my lips it would hurt. Eating and drinking was a nightmare. I do get mouth ulcers quite a bit, although they are usually little ones which don't bother me and usually disappear within a couple of days. NOT THIS ONE! I am the kind of person who does not like using 'medicine' unless I really have to. So to begin with, I was not happy...but I was up for 'leaving it alone' and let it disappear in its own time. However ,after four whole days of ... more

I have actually got this in my mouth at the time of writing this (hence why I actually thought of reviewing it). I have braces and the jagged metal in my mouth causes so many ulcers al of the time and therefore having some sort of ulcer gel is essential to prevent the inside of my mouth essentially rotting. I have always used Bonjela gel because of how well it works. If I do not use any mouth ulcer gel, the ulcers will generally stay in my mouth for just over a week or so. If I use the gel even a couple of times (It is recommended to use it every 4 hours - but I tend to forget) the ulcers will ... more
