Was prescribed Hexigel for Gingivitis post cleansing. How do I use this? Do I apply it using my finger or do I brush it on my teeth like regular toothpaste?

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
Excessive usage of hexigel can cause staining of teeth but can be removed with cleaning or polishing . Depending on the severity of gingivitis you need to use it

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