Specifically formulated to relieve occasional gum inflammation, Parogencyl Gum Action toothpaste helps relieve swelling, redness & bleeding of the gums. At 0.125%, the active ingredient Chlorhexidine helps fight against the accumulation of bacterial plaque that causes gum problems. It is the 'gold standard' antibacterial agent used by dentists & acts fast by killing bacteria in less than 30 seconds. It binds to the cell wall of bacteria, destabilising it & causing the cell wall to rupture which leads to cell death. Perméthol at 0.250%, helps to reduce the signs of occasional gum inflammation. Parogencyl Gum Action toothpaste also reduces the risk of recurrence by removing plaque through its antibacterial action. Use twice a day for up to three weeks, then follow up with Parogencyl Gum Protection Toothpaste 75ml continually.
