Polysporin... - Dental Health Message Board

Rockon78 · 09-11-2005, 05:01 PM

I apoligize, I didn't know where to post this...I hope it's ok to post it here.
I was wondering if anyone knows if it's ok to use Polysporin on your inner cheeks? I have what I think is a canker (sp?) way in the back of my mouth by my wisdom teeth and it hurts like heck!! It's paining my temple. I used Anbesol for the pain, it worked for like 5 min. Or does anyone else know anything I can do?
Thanks for any advice

~Peace~

I don't think Polysporin should be used internally. If I were you, I would just rinse with warm salt water.

I definitely would not use Polysporin. If it persists for more than a couple days or seems to be getting worse after trying to rinse with warm salt water you may want to see a dentist. It could be a warning sign of an absessed tooth.
