Dosage
Adults: brush teeth with one inch of gel on a moistened toothbrush, once or twice daily for about 1 minute. For gingivitis, use for one month. For aphthous ulceration and oral candidal infections, an alternative method of delivery may be required which facilitates application of the gel to affected areas. This should be used once or twice daily, for about 1 minute. When used as part of a regimen to prevent dental caries the gel should be applied for 5 minutes nightly for 14 days in a close fitting tray. Children: should only be used on the advice of a medical professional.
