Wearing braces, dentures, crowns, bridges and other orthodontic appliances often irritates and damages the oral mucosa. Small wounds develop on it, which are accompanied by inflammation with swelling, pain and bleeding. Gums can also be injured by dental procedures such as tooth extraction and root cleaning.
Swelling occurs at the site of the gum injury, accompanied by pain and bleeding.
In the first step of wound healing, a network of fibrous proteins is formed in which the platelets get caught. The resulting clot plugs the wound, preventing excessive blood loss.
When Gengigel is applied to the wound, hyaluronic acid from Gengigel gets into the holes in the mesh, where it has an anti-inflammatory effect and reduces swelling. Hyaluronic acid helps the surrounding cells to form collagen, the main component of new tissue. Gengigel forms a thin layer on the surface of the wound that protects the wound from bacteria and other foreign bodies.
In the end, the mesh or clot disappears and the tissue is regenerated.
The wound has healed.
I had dental surgery last week, tooth was removed. A large wound remained, which the doctor sewed up. I then used Gengigel Gel and applied it carefully. The wound healed extremely quickly and there was no inflammation. Great, I recommend it !
