Introduction About SENQUEL FOAMING ORAL GEL
Senquel Foaming Gel is a dental gel which is used in adults and children (12 years or older) to build protection against painful sensitivity of teeth to cold, heat, acids, sweet, or contact. It contains potassium nitrate as active ingredient which exerts a desensitizing action.
Potassium nitrate travel into exposed dentin tubules from the tooth surface to reach internal nerves and helps desensitize nerves in the tooth pulp, making them irresponsive to sensitivity stimuli (Ex. cold water, hot coffee, etc.).
Use Senquel Foaming Gel as directed by your dentist. Consult your dentist if pain or sensitivity still persists after 4 weeks of use. Ask your dentist before giving it to children under 12 years of age.
