Canker Sore Sufferers Can Enjoy a Romantic Valentine's Day With CankerMelts(R)

    SEATTLE, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire/ --

    WHO:       The 60 million Americans who suffer from recurrent canker sores
               don't have to worry about a painful sore derailing their
               Valentine's Day plans.  CankerMelts, an all-natural,
               over-the-counter canker sore remedy in the form of an oral
               adhesive patch, has been shown in a peer-reviewed clinical
               study to be published March 7 to provide immediate pain relief
               and protection -- and to significantly shorten healing time.
               CankerMelts inventor Jeff Haley is available to speak on the
               topic of canker sores and how to best treat them, as well as
               their effect on romantic relationships.

    WHAT:      The oral adhesive patch, or disc, is the most effective method
               of canker sore treatment -- preferred over treatments in the
               form of liquids or gels -- and CankerMelts offers many benefits
               that other adhesive patches don't:

               -- CankerMelts is made from all-natural ingredients, including
                  Glycyrrhiza extract (GX), an extract of licorice root that
                  has long been utilized as an anti-inflammatory.  GX provides
                  pain relief without numbing -- so canker sore sufferers
                  won't miss out on the sensation of kissing their loved one
                  this Valentine's Day.

               -- CankerMelts patches adhere to the inside of the mouth -- but
                  not so strongly that the patch can't be removed.  Other
                  patches adhere so strongly that they can damage mouth
                  tissues if removed within eight hours of application.  While
                  CankerMelts are comfortable enough to be worn during eating,
                  users have the option to remove them safely during
                  Valentine's dinner.

               -- CankerMelts patches are thin and flexible, making them more
                  comfortable to wear while talking and less likely to catch
                  on the teeth or tongue.

    AVAILABLE
    EXPERT:    Inventor of CankerMelts and founder and chief scientist of
               Orahealth, the company that makes this groundbreaking product,
               Jeff Haley has a background in chemistry, mechanical
               engineering and law.

               He developed CankerMelts because he suffered from painful
               canker sores throughout his life and found no treatment existed
               that could significantly reduce healing time.  Jeff is
               immediately available for media interviews upon request.
