Triamcinolone dental paste is a prescription-strength corticosteroid designed for use inside the mouth to relieve the discomfort of oral inflammatory and ulcerative lesions, such as canker sores. It works by reducing inflammation, swelling, and pain at the site of the sore, helping speed healing and improve comfort.
This medicated paste adheres to the moist surfaces in the mouth, creating a protective barrier over the lesion to prolong contact and enhance absorption of the active ingredient. It is generally applied at bedtime to maximize overnight contact, but may be used after meals if additional relief is needed.
