Oral Health

Oral health conditions like canker sores, oral mucositis, and oral thrush can cause discomfort in your mouth. Canker sores are small, painful spots inside the mouth that can make eating and talking tricky. Oral mucositis, often caused by cancer treatments, leads to red, swollen, and sore areas in the mouth. Oral thrush is a yeast infection that creates white patches on the tongue or cheeks. While these conditions can be uncomfortable, there are treatments available to ease the pain and help your mouth heal.

Frequently asked questions

What is a canker sore?

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) or canker sores occur in 20-60% of all persons. Canker sores, also called aphthous ulcers, are small, shallow lesions that develop inside your mouth, under the tongue, inside your cheeks, or at the base of your gums. Unlike cold sores, canker sores aren't contagious; however, they can be just as painful. Most canker sores are round or oval with a white or yellow center and a red border. Canker sores may be recurring and can last for two weeks or more.

What is oral mucositis?

Oral mucositis is a condition where the inside of your mouth becomes sore, red, and sometimes develops painful ulcers. It often happens to people undergoing cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, which can damage the sensitive lining of the mouth. This can make eating, drinking, and even talking difficult. While it can be uncomfortable, there are treatments available to help manage the pain and promote healing, making it easier to get through this tough time.

What is oral thrush?

Oral thrush is a yeast infection that causes white, creamy patches to form on the tongue, cheeks, or roof of the mouth. It can make your mouth feel sore or sensitive and sometimes leads to a cotton-like feeling. It’s more common in babies, older adults, or people with weakened immune systems. While it can be uncomfortable, oral thrush is treatable with medications that help clear up the infection and restore balance in your mouth.

What is a compounded medication?

One size doesn’t fit all and every patient is unique. Drug compounding is the process of combining, mixing, or altering ingredients to create a medication tailored to the needs of a patient by a pharmacist as the result of a practitioner’s prescription drug order. While compounded medications are not FDA-approved, they serve an important patient need—especially when FDA-approved medication is not available for treatment. Our formulations are made to order in small batches to ensure freshness. The specific ingredients in your compounded formula will depend on your specific concerns and goals. It should be understood that your personal healthcare practitioner will make the final decision.

Are compounded medications FSA & HSA eligible?

Yes! All of our compounded formulations, regardless of ingredients, are eligible for Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Saving Accounts (HSA).
