I have TN both type 1 and 2. I have to say i never though this mouthwash would work but it helps the burning and certain types of pain so much. It doesn't help shocks or really any type 1 symptoms but has been a god send for a lot of pain in my mouth for type 2. I also have gums that get irritated and it makes my TN SO much worse but this really helps and numbs my whole mouth! Def 5 stars, give it a try. Hope it helps you as much as its helped me. You do need a precsription for it and i am supposed to use it every 6 hours! One main ingredient is litocaine. If any one else feels the same please let me know :) Feel Good Everyone!
