Clinica (0.2%) 70g Dental Gel – Antiseptic Oral Gel for Gum Infections & Plaque Control

Description

Clinica (0.2%) Dental Gel is a medicated oral antiseptic gel containing Chlorhexidine Gluconate (0.2%), a powerful antibacterial agent widely used in dentistry to help prevent and treat gum infections (gingivitis), plaque buildup, and oral inflammation.

This gel is ideal for maintaining oral hygiene when brushing is difficult (such as after dental surgery, in gum disease, or orthodontic care). It forms a protective antibacterial barrier that helps heal irritated gums, reduce swelling, and prevent further bacterial growth.

Clinica Dental Gel is gentle, alcohol-free, and safe for daily use under dental guidance.
