Kank-A Maximum Strength Mouth Pain Liquid - 9.75mL

20% Benzocaine Oral Anesthetic with Protective Film-Forming Barrier | Kank-A
For Canker Sores & Minor Mouth Irritation | Built-In Control-Tip Applicator

🔷 Product Overview

Kank-A® Maximum Strength Mouth Pain Liquid provides fast, temporary relief of pain caused by canker sores and other minor sores or irritation inside the mouth. It contains 20% benzocaine, an oral anesthetic that temporarily numbs the affected area.

Unlike products that can quickly wash away, Kank-A combines maximum-strength benzocaine with a film-forming agent that creates a long-lasting protective coating over the sore. This helps keep the medication in contact with the affected area while creating a barrier against further irritation.

The bottle features a convenient control-tip honeycomb applicator for accurate, mess-free application without the need for fingers or separate cotton swabs.

🔷 Maximum-Strength Pain Relief

Kank-A contains:

Benzocaine 20.0% (w/w)

Benzocaine temporarily numbs the affected area to provide relief from pain associated with canker sores and minor irritation or injury of the mouth and gums.

The relief is temporary and does not treat the underlying cause of recurring or persistent mouth sores.

🔷 Long-Lasting Protective Barrier

Kank-A combines its anesthetic with a film-forming agent.

After application, the liquid forms a coating over the affected area that helps:

• Keep the anesthetic in contact with the sore
• Protect the area from additional irritation
• Prevent the medication from washing away as quickly
• Provide localized coverage directly where needed

Allow several seconds after application for the protective coating to form.

🔷 Built-In Control-Tip Applicator

The integrated control-tip honeycomb applicator allows Kank-A Liquid to be applied directly to the affected area.

This design provides controlled application without requiring fingers, cotton swabs or a separate applicator.

🔷 Directions

Adults & Children 2 Years and Older
