When a dentist gives us a prescription, we can make things like:
- Lip balms to help with viral sores on the lips
- Creams or gels that relax muscles and help with pain
- Creams that make the mouth numb for dental procedures
- Mouthwashes that kill germs but don't stain teeth
- Mouthwashes for mouth sores or sores caused by cancer treatment
Most medications are made in strengths and forms that work for most people. Sometimes we need to make medication that is not available from a manufacturer, and this is where compounding can offer additional solutions.
