At Porter’s Compounding Pharmacy, we specialize in creating personalized formulations to provide targeted solutions for a variety of dental conditions to help enhance both patient care and treatment outcomes. Our compounded medications potentially offer numerous benefits, including customized formulations, improved patient compliance, and the ability to combine therapies.
Common Dental Conditions
- Oral Pain Management: We can create customized solutions, including topical anesthetics and analgesic gels, that may help manage pain associated with dental procedures, oral surgeries, and chronic conditions like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
- Infection Control: Our compounded antibiotics and antifungal medications may help treat specific oral infections, such as periodontal disease and oral thrush.
- Mucositis Treatment: We offer compounded mouth rinses that may help soothe and heal irritated oral tissues for patients undergoing cancer treatment or those suffering from severe oral mucositis.
- Dry Mouth Relief: We compound saliva substitutes and moisturizing gels that may help alleviate symptoms of dry mouth (xerostomia) and help to provide comfort and hydration.
- Canker Sore and Ulcer Treatment: Customized formulations for treating aphthous ulcers and other oral lesions that may help provide targeted relief and promote faster healing.
