Hii,
Could you please tell me how to use gum paint. For how many minutes we have to keep that on gums after brushing the teeth?? And i hope it does not make the teeth become yellowish?? Thanks :)

Gum paint is to be applied and left for about 15 minutes. The extra spittle which you get may be spat out . After the said 15 mins. spit out all the paint and do not rinse with water or eat/drink anything for the next 30 minutes .
Gum paints containing Chlorhexidine will stain teeth on prolonged usage .
Rather than using gum paint - visit your dentist and get to the rooth of the problem you are facing.
Thank you
