How should I apply Gumex Gum Paint, and how many times a day should I use it?

Asked by Female, 76 · 13 days ago

Apply a thin layer of Gumex Gum Paint directly to the affected gums using a clean cotton bud or the bottle applicator after gently cleaning and drying the area. Use it 2 to 3 times a day, preferably after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by your doctor. Avoid eating, drinking, or rinsing your mouth for at least 30 minutes after application, and do not swallow the medicine. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, seek advice from a dentist or doctor.
