Introduction
Hydent-K Medicated Oral Gel is a medicated gel that is used for the management of tooth sensitivity, dental caries, toothaches, and dental hypersensitivity. It contains Potassium Nitrate, Sodium Monoflurosulphate, and Triclosan, which work together to prevent cavities, reduce sensitivity, and control plaque.
Directions for Use
Use a pea-sized amount of the gel on a toothbrush, gently brush or massage the gel onto the teeth and gums in a circular motion, allow the gel to sit on the teeth and gums for a minute or two, spit out the excess gel and rinse the mouth with water, use twice a day, or as directed by the healthcare provider.
How it works
The potassium nitrate in Hydent-K Medicated Oral Gel helps to reduce tooth sensitivity by blocking nerve impulses that cause pain, while the sodium monofluorophosphate helps to strengthen teeth and prevent tooth decay. The triclosan is an antibacterial agent that helps to control plaque.
