With so much success in speeding healing and reducing post operative pain, we keep testing the limits of this product. "Let's try StellaLife"  has become a routine refrain in our practice for any type of acute or chronic mouth soreness and our patients are rewarded with a solution that they, nor we, ever had in our practice. I have seldom seen a safe breakthrough product of this magnitude.”                                                                             - - Dr. Lee Sheldon
