Advantages: Gets rid of your ulcers Disadvantages: Cost and aftertaste
...try anything so bought some Oraldene Icemint from Asda. (Was recommended by the chemist but I'm not paying their prices).
Oraldene icemint mouthwash contains 200ml of a blue liquid (looks more like a chemical from science), this is quite enough and should last you a while. You can buy a 500ml bottle but this would not be worth buying unless you have mouth ulcers practically everyday. It has a number of uses; it can be used for Gingivitis, (bleeding ... ...hint of mint. Oraldene contains Hexetidine 0.1g/100ml. This is an antibacterial substance that is on most mouthwash solutions. It kills bacteria and fungi, things that can be found in the mouth hence its presence in Oraldene.
It also Polysorbate, saccharin sodium, this has been known to cause cancer in laboratory animals. It can also cause eye, skin or respiratory irritation. I decided to use it, as the amount is very small. Citric acid, quinoline ...

Oraldene mouthwash
I don't usually suffer from mouth ulcers but for the past few days have not only suffered from a very large one that really hurts, but now have a sore throat to keep it company.
After using Bonjela for a few days, constantly brushing my mouth and using my usually mouth wash the redness and pain was still the same. Every movement in my mouth hurt from swallowing and eating to talking, which in my job is not good. The family were ... ...recommended that I start using Oraldene straight away, so I brought a 100ml bottle for £2.19. The Packaging
A colourful box with soothing pale blues creeping over hot pink curving lines. Hopefully a good sign of what the contents is capable of. There are lots of instructions and advice on the outside of the box, including information on this antibacterial mouthwash being able to relieve gingivitis and sore gums as well as the mouth ulcers and sore ...

Advantages: It works on sore gums Disadvantages: Bit of a nasty after taste
...I have also seen Oraldene in the original "flavour" which is red, but haven't actually tried the other type.
~~What I think of it~~
Great stuff!
The mouthwash is easy to use and has now become part of my cleaning of teeth routine. Obviously, I will use another product when this runs out because I don't want it not to work next time I have a sore throat. My sore throat and gum certainly got better, although whether this was due to the mouthwash ... ...say my mouth did feel cleaner and altogether fresher than with some other mouthwashes. However, when I used it, my sore throat did feel a bit anaesthetised, so all good happenings.
I have not noticed any discoloration of my teeth, which is contrary to what I was led to believe, although I think I was told this in the days when you could get only the original red stuff, (I'm sure it was red) so maybe it was the red stuff which discoloured teeth, ...

...a bottle of Oraldene.
Oraldene is an over the counter medicine that has many uses and should be considered an essential item for your bathroom cabinet. I have used this before and find it works well and is a bit of an all rounder as far as counter medicines go.
Oraldene can be found in the likes of Superdrug and Boots and you will notice the eyecatching silver/pink and blue box which stands out against it's contemporaries. I noticed under the text ... ...chose the more user friendly Oraldene for their name! When you take this out of the box it looks like something you might obtain from your dentist.
The bottle is glass and contains 200ml of mouthwash. The label on the bottle is the same design as the box with it's swooshing arrow and grey and blue background. Inside your bottle is a bright red liquid - it has the same consistency as a regular mouthwash. When you twist open the bottle top it has ...

...nothing more than freshen breath. Oraldene excels in this respect because it not only freshens breath, but also provides medicated relief for mouth and throat infections. Its antibacterial agent helps relieve a range of complaints, including sore/bleeding gums (gingivitis), sore throats, mouth ulcers and bad breath (halitosis). The mouthwash itself is a clear red solution containing the active ingredient Hexetidine, an antibacterial/antifungal agent. ... ...Being a mouthwash, Oraldene is for topical use only. This means that it must not be swallowed or taken internally. It is recommended that you gargle with 15ml of the undiluted solution, which can be measured using the small plastic measuring cup provided. This should be done two or three times a day.
I found that the solution itself had quite a strong medicinal taste, but this was not at all unpleasant because it was masked by a fresh peppermint ...

Advantages: Maybe works good for ulcers Disadvantages: Made mouth feel gunky and tongue numb, expensive, aniseed taste (yuck!)
Oraldene is a mouthwash the is recommended mainly for mouth ulcers, halitosis (bad breath), oral thrush and gingivitis and following an illness a few weeks ago which left me with oral thrush and gingivitis I decided to give this a shot. The main reason for this was when I'd had dental surgery in the past I'd use Chlorohexadene (one of the active ingredients) and it had seemed to help. I was less than impressed with oraldene I must say.
It's a strange ... ...3 times a day. The initial sensation on first use is a very strong burning feeling. It was quite unpleasant and I must say that I found it difficult to rinse with this. The taste is also bizzarre and I really couldn't place it. The aftertaste was like aniseed balls and as I hate aniseed this didn't exactly make me happy about using it.
After rinsing your mouth feels very weird. There is a dulling of taste and your mouth feels slightly gunked up. ...

Advantages: Gets rid of infections quickly and leaves your mouth feeling fresh Disadvantages: Not the best taste in the world
Oraldene was recommended to me by a friend, when I was suffering from Mouth ulcers, she said it was really good for clearing them up and so I gave it a go. I didn't have any trouble finding it as my local supermarket stocks it. I believe a lot of chemists keep it too.
The first thing I noticed when I went to buy it was the price, it was quite a bit more expensive than any other mouthwash I had previously bought, but I bought it any way, and I'm ... ...totally unpleasant but it does have that medicinal feel about it.
I won't change back to any other mouthwash now - although Oraldene is a bit more expensive around £4 a bottle I believe it's more effective than others I've tried and is better value because it really works. ...

The first time I used this product, my mouth felt very numb and I did get relief from the pain for a short while. But to my horror, the next morning, I had 3 more ulcers and the product wasn't even numbing the inside of my mouth any longer. I preservered with the product, only to obtain more and more ulcers. After consulting my doctor, he advised ... ...in my mouth!
Also, Oraldene tastes foul and the reddy-pink colour isn't very attractive. It cost me £4.19 to purchase the smaller bottle and I won't be buying it again. I can't say I noticed any long-term differences from using this product but can only say it spread the mouth infection further. ...
