Description
A dermatologist may prescribe Kenacort 0.1% to help you get rid of mouth ulcers and mouth inflammation. The active ingredient triamcinolone acetonide prevents the release of certain substances that are responsible for causing inflammation in the body. Kenacort is a dental paste which one can apply to treat painful lesions in the mouth. The anti-inflammatory formulation is effective against mouth ulcers and helps to provide relief from swelling and redness in the affected area. Triamcinolone forms a protective film over the ulcers and heals them within a few weeks of regular application.
