Product introduction

Bentoform Dental Gel is used to prevent dental cavities (tooth decay). It works by strengthening the teeth by reducing the effects of acid and bacteria. Thus, makes them resistant to decay. It also provides relief in tooth hypersensitivity and inflammation of gums.

Bentoform Dental Gel is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. Make sure not to swallow the medication. Do not stop using it until you have finished the complete course, even when you feel better.  You must avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for at least 30 minutes after using it. Do not use it for more than a period of 4 weeks. 

The medicine is generally safe to use with no common side effects. Occasionally it may cause severe allergic reactions which include rash, swelling of face or tongue, and breathing problems. Get emergency help if it happens.  It is also advisable not to wash the treated area immediately after applying the medicine.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way this medicine works. This medicine should only be used if it is clearly needed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ask your doctor if it is safe.

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.

Side effects of Bentoform Dental Gel

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
