    Oralbase® Soothe-N-Seal™Colgate Oral Pharmaceuticals, Inc. introduces a canker and mouth-sore treatment — Colgate Oralbase® Soothe-N-Seal™. It is clinically proven to stop mouth pain immediately upon application. People who wear dentures or orthodontic appliances can benefit from this product since they frequently suffer from mouth irritation as well.

    Colgate Oralbase® Soothe-N-Seal™ works by sealing off the nerve endings and creating a protective barrier over the affected area — allowing you to eat and drink normally without experiencing further irritation. As it seals, the liquid transforms to a thin, yet strong barrier that stays in place for up to six hours, promoting natural healing.
