Oral lichen planus is an ongoing (chronic) inflammatory condition that affects mucous membranes inside your mouth. Oral lichen planus may appear as white, lacy patches; red, swollen tissues; or open sores. These lesions may cause burning, pain or other discomfort.

The use of local anaesthetics by injection or by application to mucous membranes to produce local analgesia is discussed in this section.
Local anaesthetic drugs act by causing a reversible block to conduction along nerve fibres. They vary widely in their potency, toxicity, duration of action, stability, solubility in water, and ability to penetrate mucous membranes. These factors determine their application, e.g. topical (surface), infiltration, peripheral nerve block, intravenous regional anaesthesia (Bier’s block), plexus, epidural (extradural), or spinal (intrathecal or subarachnoid) block. Local anaesthetics may also be used for postoperative pain relief, thereby reducing the need for analgesics such as opioids.
Mouthwashes are usually either designed for cosmetic use or therapeutic use. Cosmetic mouthwashes freshen bad breath for short periods of time, but they don’t provide any other dental benefits. Therapeutic products contain active ingredients, such as chlorhexidine or fluoride, which do offer benefits for oral health. Chlorhexidine helps reduce the effects of gingivitis, or gum inflammation, and plaque buildup, while fluoride lowers the risk of tooth decay. Some products also have peroxide, which serves as a teeth whitening ingredient. Cosmetic mouthwashes are available over-the-counter, while therapeutic products are available over-the-counter and with a prescription, depending on the ingredients they contain.
Do I get whiter teeth exposing for hours your face under the sun? sunsUV light does not whiten your teeth. That means that no matter how much smiling you do on a sunny day, your teeth won’t get any whiter – and any whitening you notice will probably be the effect of getting a tan, but that has its own risks. You can get a contrast between white teeth and dark tan skin gaining one shade lighter. Have a nice Weekend from one of the most emblematic landmarks in London 💙.
