Gum disease is caused by plaque build-up on the teeth. Plaque is a bacterial-infested sticky substance. Some bacteria in plaque are harmless, but others are hazardous to your gums' health. Plaque builds up on your teeth and hurts your gums if you do not brush them. This might result in redness, bleeding, oedema, and pain.

After using Hexigel Mouth Gel, avoid eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth for 30-60minutes.

Yes, Hexigel Mouth Gel may cause staining of teeth if taken for a prolonged time. However, the staining may not be permanent and might disappear after discontinuation of Hexigel Mouth Gel. To avoid staining, brush and floss your teeth every day.
