Manufacturer’s Claim

Canker sores, also known as aphthous stomatitis is a common condition, characterized by small ulcers that are visible in the mouth and can cause difficulty when eating or talking. These ulcers can either be simple or complex and depending on which type you have – the duration of this condition will vary. Although there is much speculation about what the exact cause of these sores is, there is very little conclusive evidence. However, it is believed that certain citrus or acidic food and sharp dental appliances such as braces can bring them on. The following is a review for Amosan, an oral antiseptic rinse that claims to help the user with a wide list of oral wounds and problems, these include; gingivitis, orthodontic irritation, gum inflammation and canker sores.

Formula

Sodium perborate monohydrate – 1.2g
Other ingredients: L-Tartaric acid, Sodium saccharin and Flavors

This product contains 1.2g of sodium perborate monohydrate per sachet and has inactive ingredients, however, it was unclear how much of each was included in the making of this oral antiseptic. Sodium perborate monohydrate is commonly used in detergents and household cleaning products as it is a stable source of active oxygen. Even when applied to dentistry and oral health this ingredient is predominantly used as a whitener or bleach. This product claims not to include alcohol, parabens or artificial colorants.

Amosan Review – The Bottom Line

In conclusion to our review of Amosan, we liked that this product did not contain any alcohol or parabens. We also liked that there was extensive information on its use available. However, we were concerned due to the possible toxic nature of this product, that there were unspecified amounts of ingredients and that there was no real guarantee connected to this oral antiseptic.
