If only local irritation, at gum region alone, not very severe,
Locally apply DOLOGEL CT, 5 TIMES/DAY,
clean mouth and use finger/fresh ear bud for applying the gel on gum, keep applied on extracted teeth gum area for 3 mins, not to swallow the saliva, rinse mouth thoroughly after 3 minutes. Not to eat anything for next 20 minutes.
Hold mouthful of warm salt water as long as possible.3-4 times/day.
Dont neglect brushing.
