How to Use

To use hydrocortisone or triamcinolone dental paste:

• Using a cotton swab, press - do not rub a small amount of paste onto the area to be treated until the paste sticks and a smooth, slippery film forms. Do not try to spread the drug because it will become crumbly and gritty.
• Apply the paste at bedtime so the drug can work overnight. The other applications of the paste must be made following meals.

Do not use corticosteroids more often or for a longer time than your family doctor or dentist ordered . To do so may increase the risk of absorption through the lining of the mouth and the risk of side effects.

Do not use this drug for other mouth problems without first checking with your family doctor or dentist . This drug must not be using on many kinds of bacterial, viral, or fungal infections.
