Hello Since it was prescribed to you for gingivitis you have to brush with it and avoid eating or drinking anything post that for 45 min . Incase of ulcer it is to be applied on the affected area with finger
Health Tips

You need to massage it over your gums with your finger. Using it with the toothbrush is not going to be of great help. Regards.
