Oral Healthcare – TePe Gingival Gel – Double protection for teeth and gums!

The interdental spaces (between the teeth) are difficult to clean with an ordinary toothbrush.  These spaces conceal about 40% of the tooth surface so, without using floss or interdental brushes to clean these areas, they are the most likely place for gum disease and tooth decay to develop.

TePe Gingival Gel is a mint-flavoured, anti-bacterial gel which is specially designed for easy use with TePe Interdental Brushes.  The gel combines the advantages of chlorhexidine and fluoride for double protection of gums and teeth.  Chlorhexidine is effective against plaque and gum inflammation (gingivitis), while fluoride helps prevent tooth decay and protects sensitive root surfaces.  TePe Gingival Gel is free from abrasives for smooth, gentle cleaning between the teeth and provides a fresh feeling, not only between the teeth, but in the entire mouth.

There are two convenient methods of applying the gel to the interdental brush.  One way is to simply drip the gel along the brush.  Another way is to use the unique TePe cap as a bowl, simply pour the gel into the cap and dip the whole brush into the gel.  For optimal effect, use the gel after toothbrushing and do not rinse your mouth after use.

TePe Gingival Gel and TePe Interdental Brushes are available to buy direct from our practice.   If you haven’t tried TePe Interdental Brushes before, please ask your dentist or hygienist what size(s) they would recommend.   If you have any questions or require any further information about any of our oral healthcare products, please ask one of our team members for assistance and they will be happy to help you.
