Omnident gel takes care of teeth and gums. It is used in gum diseases to reduce bleeding and to maintain good oral hygiene. It contains fluoride which strengthens teeth and fights against dental cavities. It also has Zinc sulphate and Alum that reduces gum bleeding. Triclosan in Omnident gel is an anti-septic substance which kills odour producing bacteria in the mouth and also prevents the formation of plaque. Directions for use: Apply at least 2.5 cm (1-inch strip) of the toothpaste onto a soft bristle toothbrush. Brush teeth thoroughly for at least 2 minutes twice a day or as recommended by a dentist . Brush at a 45 degree angle to your teeth by directing the bristles to where gums and teeth meet. Clean every surface of every tooth, the chewing surface, the cheek side, and the tongue side and use a soft brush with round bristles. By spitting thoroughly instead of rinsing your mouth with water after brushing, the thin coating of toothpaste remains on your teeth and provides the relief it is designed to give you. Use under medical supervision.
