It's funny how the reviews for Canker Cover are either extremely glowing or very negative. This is a very good product, but you have to be clear on what it is and how it works.

As others have posted, the Canker Cover sticks onto the sore and gradually turns to a gel-like goo to cover it. Not to be gross, but this is probably slower for some people than others depending on the quantity and PH Balance of their saliva. You should figure that it could take up to an hour and that the patch could last as long as 10 hours or so to completely dissolve in some cases. As it's fairly obtrusive and makes it hard to talk, I strongly recommend only using this at night when you have at least 8 hours before having to speak in public.

As far as effectiveness, I've definitely had less positive results than others who've posted. I find it often takes at least 3 nights of using Canker Covers to clear up the sore. In some cases, I've gone through the entire 6 Covers for one sore. However, it's definitley quicker and less painful than not using it. This is probably the best product I've tried for canker sores. For ones that you can use during the day, I'd recommend Canker-Rid or Orabase Soothe-n-Seal, both of which also cover the sore, but with a much thinner coating.

Overall, a very good product, but only to be used at night or when you're going to be in the privacy of your own home for at least 8 hours.

I had a canker sore between my lower lip and teeth, and it was driving me crazy. Using these made an unpleasant situation worse--first, they take quite a long time (at least 10-12 hours) to fully dissolve, so the morning after I tried my first one, I tried to remove it to go to work (my lower lip was jutting out and you could see the patch). It pulled off skin with it, which only compounded the problem. A few nights later, I tried again. I didn't try to remove it this time, instead letting it dissolve, which was a thoroughly revolting and long process. And it stained one of my lower teeth, so now I have a round yellow stain where the patch overlapped with my teeth. I hate this product.

Comments about Quantum Canker Cover Patches, Mint Flavor, 6 ea:

In our small town it is hard to get products on a consistent basis. That makes you my life savers.

This is one of the best products I've found. It smarts a bit when you first apply it but that soon fades and the swelling and pain soon fade.

The only thing that helps

By sammyp

from new york, ny

Comments about Quantum Canker Cover Patches, Mint Flavor, 6 ea:

I am a lifelong, chronic canker sore sufferer, and these patches are the only thing that make my life bearable. I use them overnight only - as other reviewers have said, they are unpleasant and often visible during the day, plus they'll come right off with eating/drinking and sometimes talking. So daytime is useless. Nor do I find that they really cure anything.

BUT if put on overnight on a regular basis (my sores take days to resolve), they keep the canker sore from getting super inflammed. This is the difference between a managable, somewhat uncomfortable canker sore and a monster that prevents me from eating/talking/living my life. So for that, I am eternally grateful. They're expensive and annoying, but they're the only thing that has worked so far.

A couple of tips based on comments. One, if they're not sticking, it's because you didn't get your skin dry enough before you put them on. This is also dependent on location - some places they stay great and some they don't, based on how moist those parts of your mouth are, what the surface is like, how often you move it, etc. It's really going to depend on where you get the sore. But definitely make sure it's super dry. Then go to bed and don't move your mouth (if it's a difficult location).

Also, in the morning, if the patch hasn't dissolved and is somewhere visible, I usually cut into it with my teeth to take the bulk of it off. Gross, I know, but this avoids having to pull it off (ouch!) and leaves a thin coating of protection that helps ease pain a little bit longer and wears off pretty quickly so you don't look like a freak.

      Comments about Quantum Canker Cover Patches, Mint Flavor, 6 ea:

      I had two painful canker sores on my tongue. If you read the box for this product, you will assume that the patches are easy to place on any sores in your month... this was simply not the case.

      I went through an entire box and all the patches would just fall off my canker sores after a few minutes. It is misleading to say that you can have these patches on when eating or drinking.... just impossible. And I found the product to be expensive as well (you only get 6 patches).

      The company needs to more honest and accurate on their packaging. Or develop a product that is easier to use and actually stays on!

      I've tried this when I have a really painful canker sore and the white spot was gone overnight. It definitely works for me but it's really pricey. I've tried 2 other products and they were not as effective as this. I will definitely repurchase this over and over if I ever get another sore and ran out of this product. The other one I tried was also a patch but it's all natural. It did not work at all and I've used 4 patches on my sore.

            I get frequent cankers. I had one canker that was so large and painful that I couldn't eat and it even hurt to talk. I applied a patch and the pain was gone within minutes and the canker was practically gone by the next day.

              Comments about Quantum Canker Cover Patches, Mint Flavor, 6 ea:

              I had a huge outbreak that came out of no where. I had 5 sores, 2 on the very back of my tongue near my last molar and 1 near the middle of my tongue on the same side and one near the front on the same side and also one near the back of my gums. Since mostly all my sores were touching my teeth, I was in excruciating pain, I couldn't swallow, eat, or talk.

              The thing I like about these is that it does have some relief, however because of the curvature of my tongue, I felt that if I would have had one on my cheek, on a more flatter surface it would have been better. And the taste, it has a very very little mint essence but it disolves into this bitter vitaminy taste that I disliked and it made my stomach hurt.

              I think most of the sores are healed now. It has been 24 hours, so thats great, I just think it would be better on a surface that wasn't curved and not my tongue. Plus the price is expensive too.

                This works from the onset of a canker sore.
                I have outbreaks and this product kills them before they become so bad that I can't eat or drink.
                Great Product!

                  When I went to the drug store, I thought I would be stuck with only a liquid/gel pain reliever again, that only lasts about 15 minutes...but I saw this patch treatment that stayed in place for up to 8 hours and I was instantly ready to try it. I have been plagued with continuous bouts of canker sores my entire life. I did some research and found out that toothpastes with SLS actually cause them. So make sure to get SLS-free mouthcare products.

                  You need to blot the sore dry and ensure your finger is also dry when you place it. Hold for about 20-30 seconds and it's on. You have to wait about 30-45 minutes for it to turn into a protective gel...if not, chewing food may be difficult when the hard tablet gets in the way. Some may find it annoying when it sticks to your teeth.

                  I experienced instant pain relief. My patch only lasted 3 hours, but that is all dependent on location, eating, talking, etc. I'm sure it would stick all night.

                  Expensive, but totally worth it! I only had to use one patch and my canker sore was gone in no time. Before the patch begins to soften and form to your mouth it can be kind of bulky and awkard. So put it on well before you have to leave the house or eat. You may want to cut the patch in half if your sore isn't that big. Buying another box to stock up!
