Regular maintenance of oral hygiene contributes to:
- Good resistance to oral infections
- Less plaque build up
- More pleasant breath
- Healthy gums
- Prevention of problems that result from gum inflammation
Administer Healthy Gums twice daily:
Amount per application (approximate):
- 10 lb and under: 3-4 drops
- 11 lb and over: 5-7 drops
Using dropper, apply product directly onto gums. Use only enough to sufficiently coat the gums. Avoid touching the dropper directly to the gums to prevent contamination of the product.
You may find it useful to apply gently with fingertip or cotton swab if the gums are not excessively inflamed. Be mindful not to cause added discomfort during application as infected or inflamed gums can be extremely sensitive.
Shake well before use. Does not require refrigeration.
