Why People Use It
Orabase Protective Paste 30g is a trusted, clinically used paste that works like an invisible bandage on delicate and sore areas. Most people reach for it when dealing with painful mouth ulcers, gum irritation, canker sores, and discomfort caused by ill-fitting dentures. Beyond oral care, helping patients manage colostomies, ileostomies, ileal conduits, and fistulas by creating a firm, moisture-absorbing seal around peristomal skin. Its unique adhesive formula sticks naturally to moist surfaces, providing a protective layer that supports healing without causing further irritation.
How to Use
For mouth ulcers or gum soreness, take a small amount of paste and gently dab it onto the affected area. Hold it in place until it becomes sticky do not rub it in. Repeat after meals or as often as needed throughout the day. For stoma care, apply the paste to fill in any skin folds, creases, or surgical scars around the stoma before fitting your appliance. When using a flange, press a generous ring of paste around the stoma to create a secure seal.
Things to Keep in Mind
Always apply to clean, dry skin or oral surfaces for best results. If applied too thickly inside the mouth, the excess will naturally peel away, leaving a thin protective film in contact with the sore area. This is completely normal. Avoid swallowing large amounts of the paste.
Warnings

If the mouth irritation or skin condition does not improve within 7 days, stop use and consult your dentist or doctor. Keep out of reach of children. Not intended for use on infected wounds without professional guidance.
