PÄÄSTERÕNGAS gum gel is intended for local use on the gums, not as a mouthwash. A practical way to use it is after brushing and flossing, when the gum line is clean and the gel can adhere to the moist mucosa instead of being immediately diluted by food or drink. The gel texture helps it remain in contact with the soft tissues longer than a liquid rinse.
Apply a small amount along the gum margin and gently massage it in with a clean fingertip or a soft toothbrush. Use light pressure only, especially if your gums feel tender after brushing, dental cleaning, braces adjustment or contact with a new prosthesis. The product is non-foaming, so you do not need to brush it like toothpaste.
It is best to avoid eating or drinking immediately after application, as this can wash the gel away. Many people find evening use practical because the mouth is not exposed to meals or drinks for a longer period. Do not swallow larger amounts of the gel, and stop using it if you notice signs of sensitivity or an allergic reaction to herbal or essential oil components.
