Canker sores

Canker Sores

Canker sores, also known as aphthous ulcers, are small spots that can appear on the cheeks, lips, tongue, and gums, sometimes causing sensitivity or discomfort while eating, speaking, or performing daily oral care.

Cause

Canker sores are small, round ulcers that form inside the mouth on the tongue, cheeks, or gums. They can appear after minor injuries (like biting your cheek), or be triggered by stress, hormonal changes, or certain foods. While their exact cause isn't fully known, they often happen when the mouth's protective lining becomes irritated or weakened.

Solution

PEP+ BEAM Oral Rinse helps support a comfortable mouth during these moments. The peptide-enriched oral rinse soothes sensitive areas and helps maintain a refreshed, balanced feeling in the mouth.

PEP+ BEAM Oral Gel provides targeted comfort at sensitive spots, forming a gentle protective layer that helps the mouth feel calm and cared for.

Together, these products create a peptide-enriched daily oral care routine that supports comfort, helps maintain healthy-feeling tissues, and leaves the mouth feeling cared for.
