The insidiousness of gum disease lies in their development invisible to the patient. Even inflamed gums do not cause such painful sensations as, for example, bad teeth, although the disease is also quite unpleasant. The gums begin to bleed during brushing, while eating, when they get into the inflamed areas of acidic food, they begin to sore and become very sensitive. All the symptoms indicate that it is time to come to grips with your gums, since the inflammatory process has begun.
In any pharmacy, a medicine is sold - gum ointment, which is dispensed without a prescription and which can be used if the gums are baked and sore due to scratches. In order to prevent unpleasant sensations in the future, it is necessary to choose the softest brush for hygienic procedures in combination with a special toothpaste for gums prone to bleeding. It is necessary immediately after rinsing the mouth with an antiseptic liquid to apply gum ointment, for example, one of these:
- "Metrogil";
- Apident-Asset;
- "Solcoseryl";
- Zilactin.
These drugs will successfully cope with the onset of the inflammatory process of the gums and relieve unpleasant symptoms.
In the case when the gum aches at rest, and hurts during meals, you should consult a dentist who will prescribe an ointment with an analgesic effect. However, it is necessary to exclude the abuse of the prescribed medication, since it relieves exclusively pain, without healing, as a rule, the inflammatory process itself.
An ointment for gums based on natural ingredients is an excellent therapeutic tool, which, in addition to removing the inflammatory process, will help strengthen the gums to prevent them from further injury. Especially useful are preparations that include beekeeping products, for example, Apident-Active ointment. Its active ingredients are herbal extracts, bee venom and propolis extract. With regular use, it is possible to significantly improve blood circulation, eliminate gum swelling, and achieve an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. And, of course, the Apident-Active ointment for gums, which is sold in the form of a gel, will first restore the oral cavity (its mucous membrane), damaged as a result of mechanical actions (injuries, sores, cuts, scratches).
Apply anti-inflammatory gels and ointments, usually after rinsing the oral cavity with a solution with an antiseptic effect on the gingival papillae and on the marginal gum (special attention is paid to the front surface of the teeth).
How to choose ointment for gums for children? Due to the fact that gum gels have a better penetrating ability compared to ointment, in addition, they are easier to hold on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, the gel should be preferred. Moreover, the effectiveness of dosage forms in the form of gels is an order of magnitude higher. Here are just a few gels suitable for children.
Cholisal is a children's gel for gums. Excellent analgesic and anti-inflammatory. The use of this drug is justified both for the treatment of gingivitis and for achieving pain relief during teething (it is rubbed directly into the teething area). The gel has no age-related contraindications. Apply ointment twice a day (morning and night), applying from the front surface of the teeth to the gingival papillae and the edge of the gums. After eating, you must not eat food for two to three hours, you can drink, but do not rinse your mouth. The course of treatment is usually from seven to ten days.
"Metrogil Dent" is a children's ointment for gums, produced in the form of a gel. The method of application of this gel is no different from the previous one, the only difference is the age limit - its use for children is possible from six years.
