Uses of Bentoform Dental Gel
Benefits of Bentoform Dental Gel
In Hypersensitivity
Loss of the outer layer of tooth (enamel) may lead to exposure of the sensitive layer of tooth surface. This may cause extreme sensitivity to hot or cold food, fluids or even air. Bentoform Dental Gel helps remineralisation of the lost protective layer of the tooth and helps in relieving this hypersensitivity of teeth to hot or cold stimuli.
In Inflammation of gums
Inflammation of gums may interfere with eating, drinking and even talking. Bentoform Dental Gel forms a coating over these inflamed areas on the gums and therefore, provides relief from pain, discomfort and symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling or burning sensation. This makes it easier for you to go about your daily activities. Continue using it as advised by the doctor to get maximum benefit.
In Dental cavities
Dental cavities refers to the damage to a tooth that can happen when harmful bacteria in your mouth make acids that attack the tooth's surface, or enamel. If tooth decay is not treated, it can cause pain, infection, and even permanent loss of the affected tooth. Bentoform Dental Gel helps improve the resistance of teeth against these harmful bacteria and prevents dental cavities. This ensures that you have healthier teeth and improves oral health.
