Medicinal Benefits

Dentasep Gel 15 gm is a combination medication containing Metronidazole (an antibiotic), Lidocaine (local anaesthetic), and Chlorhexidine (an antiseptic). Dentasep Gel 15 gm is primarily used to treat mouth ulcers. Lidocaine helps treat mouth ulcers by forming a protective layer on the ulcer, blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain, and decreasing the pain sensation. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic and disinfectant that effectively cleans out the ulcer's surface to prevent infection. Metronidazole is bactericidal in nature and kills the bacteria by damaging its DNA and preventing these bacteria's growth from spreading, hence relieving the symptoms. As a result, good oral hygiene is maintained, and it is easier to go out and perform daily activities.
