Triclosan acts as an antibacterial agent to reduce plaque formation and gum inflammation.

What is the usual dosage and how should it be applied?

Apply a pea-sized amount of Thermokind F Gel to a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush twice daily for at least two minutes, typically in the morning and after dinner. After brushing, spit out the gel but do not rinse immediately for better effectiveness.

What are the possible side effects?

Thermokind F Gel is generally reported to cause no adverse side effects. However, very rarely, some individuals might experience hypersensitivity reactions such as angioedema or oral and facial swelling, especially if predisposed to such reactions or allergic to any ingredients.
