FAQs:

What is Viradent?

Viradent is a topical gel containing the active ingredient stannous fluoride. Viradent medication is useful as an aid in caries prevention, reduction of tooth sensitivity and promoting healthier gum tissue in patients with periodontal disease. Viradent has been also known to treat cold sores, nail fungus, and insect bites.

Is Viradent Safe?

Viradent gel is a FDA and ADA approved product for the treatment of dental caries. Viradent's formula is Generally Recognized as Safe and Effected (GRASE). This status is given only when the margin of safety is so great that the formula is permitted to be sold without a prescription.

How do you apply Viradent?

Dental (caries/teeth sensitivity/periodontal disease)
Brush teeth with viradent gel twice daily or as directed by Physician or Dentist. Do not swallow. Do not use on children under 6 years of age unless directed by Physician or Doctor.

Non Dental (Cold sores / Nail fungus / bug bites )
Apply viradent medication directly to affected area, coating liberally and rubbing in thoroughly. Keep coated by reapplying 3-4 times daily. Apply it when the first signs of notable tissue damage occur.

How effective is Viradent gel on cold sore outbreaks?

Results of an FDA cold sore clinical trial with 0.4% stannous fluoride gel (viradent):

1. Promotes faster healing time by more than two days following an outbreak.
2. Prevents outbreaks against UV light. Results in smaller cold sore sizes when used preventively.
3. Can delay an outbreak.
4. Has no noted side effects.

Who invented Viradent?

The connection between stannous fluoride and herpes was the discovery of a dentist Dr. William J. Embro. In 1985 Dr. Embro began studies on the connection between the use of topical stannous fluoride and the healing of herpes lesions. Studies done at the University of Manitoba and Smith-Kline Laboratories confirm this compound as a viable weapon in the fight against herpes. Dr. Embro invented and patented the well-known medication "Viraderm" and is currently developing other medications. Viradent is an improved product in the fight against herpes.

Is Viradent different than other medications?

Viradent, unlike most OTC (over the counter) cold sore products, contains ingredients that actually KILL the herpes virus once the virus is released from nerve endings into skin tissue. Other products only make the lesions "feel better" for a short time. As a result of KILLING the virus two things naturally occur:

1. The actual healing time of the lesions is significantly reduced.
2. The actual "viral titer" in the body of the virus itself is reduced. This could possibly make future outbreaks less frequent and/or less severe in nature.

What is the mechanism of action?

Although the mechanism of action is unclear, it appears that the antiviral effect on the herpes simplex virus can be primarily attributed to the divalent cation tin (Sn++). It is believed that the stannous cation exerts its activity by interacting with negatively charged receptor glycoprotein's on the membrane of the herpes virus, thus impeding its ability to infect epidermal cells. In addition to the antiviral effectiveness of the stannous ion, fluoride is also known to interfere with cellular metabolism which can also affect the course of the herpes simplex infection.

Testimonials:

“I would like to thank you for introducing me to viradent. I have suffered with mouth ulcers all my adult life. Through the years, I have tried many things but nothing has worked. I have used viradent on several occasions. This is the first thing that I can honestly say has helped me. The severity of the ulcers and the length of time it takes for them to heal has been drastically reduced.” JH

“My granddaughter suffers from reoccurring sores on her lips. Your medication viradent, is the only thing we’ve found that takes care of the problem. As soon as a place starts on her lips (and this happens often) we start using the medicine, and it takes care of it. I am very grateful for the viradent. I don’t know what we would do without it. Thank you very very much.” RM

“I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to try viradent. I suffered for many years with painful, unsightly cold sores. Since I have used your medicine, I have had very few recurrences and it provides pain relief better than anything I have used in the past.” PM

“Most OTC’s tasted bad and were sticky. viradent was soothing and tasted good.” BM

“Zovirax did not provide relief nor fast healing. Healing was much faster with viradent.” EC

“I have used Herpicin L, Zovirax, Blistex, and many more, but none provide the pain relief or fast healing like viradent. This product has prevented recurrent blisters. I used to get cold sores about 6-7 times a year. Now, I get 1 or 2 a year, since I started using viradent.” AQ
