Tannic acid has an astringent effect, which causes the shrinkage or constriction of body tissues, while zinc chloride and cetrimide act as antiseptic agents, preventing bacteria and fungi from growing in the mouth.
Directions for Use
Massage gently sufficiently over the affected area of the gums. Use under medical supervision.
