Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Just wanted to share.. since most of what I see here is advertising.. I have Crohn's and for some reason have a tendency to get thrush and ulcerated mouth. I have been trying gentian violet for a day since I used it for my baby's thrush. Pharmacist said it should work just as it did for baby. Only tip: It stains plaque.. so you need to use it sparingly and be prepared for purple dotted teeth for a few hours each time you use it. Until you get used to using it. Dip the very tip of a qtip into the gentian violet and paint affected areas. With baby you paint the whole mouth.. but it is really bad looking on adult teeth. It is used twice a day for three days. Not supposed to be ingested.. so best to use sparingly. For me it has provided alot of relief from raw pain. Not sure if it will clear mouth or not.. will try to check back and update post. webdauter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
