OAK BROOK, Ill., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Mouth pain can occur at anytime throughout the day, and treating the problem while away from home isn't always convenient. The best products provide a tailored solution to localized pain, but can be difficult to use on the go. Kank-A Soothing Beads provide two benefits: effective, comfortable relief for all-over-mouth pain, and a form that is easy to carry and discreet to use.

Kank-A Soothing Beads are comfortable, smooth balls that melt in the mouth to deliver maximum strength medication (15 mg benzocaine per five-bead dose). Soothing Beads can be rolled around the mouth for all over relief, or held in one spot for concentrated treatment.

Each five-bead dose is individually packaged on a perforated card (like many over-the-counter caplets), making it easy to leave some at home, work, or in any other location that's handy throughout the day. They are designed to deliver effective relief without excessive numbing, and are ideal for use on gum irritations, mouth burns, canker sores, orthodontic appliances and dentures.

With a suggested retail price of $5.49 - $7.99 for each 15-dose pack, Kank-A Soothing Beads are now available at food and drug stores nationwide.
