Composition and its features
Basicconstituent components of the dental gel "Cholisal":
1) Choline salicylate.
2) Cetalkonium chloride.
Additional ingredients: methyl parahydroxybenzoate, hyetylose, anise seed oil, glycerol, water, ethanol.
Choline salicylate blocks inflammation conductors in the gums and oral mucosa. That is, "Dental-gel" acts outside and inside the tissues, unlike other dental gels. In addition, this active component of the composition has an antifungal and antimicrobial effect, has an analgesic and antipyretic effect (choline salicylate is not able to lower the temperature below normal).
Cetalkonium chloride is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial ingredient.
A distinctive feature of the components of the composition of this dental gel is good penetration into tissues for anti-inflammatory action both from the inside and outside of the affected area and good retention of the gel on the oral mucosa (the gel does not slip off and is not washed off with saliva).
Unlike most similar drugs, this gel does not contain lidocaine, which causes numbness throughout the mouth, which is very undesirable, especially for young children.
"Cholisal-gel" is a unique dental preparation that relieves inflammation and pain relief at the same time.

With caution, "Dental-gel" should be used for children under one year old, pregnant and lactating women.

Childmay not be able to handle swallowing large amounts of saliva, but he can use a small, soft blower to remove excess saliva and wipe the saliva out of his mouth to prevent moisture from irritating and irritating his lips.
Side effects and interactions with other drugs

How to use and dosage
Rinse your mouth or brush your teeth before the procedure.
You can use the gel 2 or 3 times a day, preferably before or after meals, and also before bedtime (for pain relief).
Before applying the described gel to the affected area in the oral cavity, it is recommended to slightly wet the application site with a gauze swab to remove excess saliva for better fixation of the gel. If the procedure is performed on a small child who does not allow his mouth to get wet, then you can do without it.
On a clean finger, apply a strip of Dental Gel 1 cm long (for an adult) or 0.5 cm (for a child). Apply a finger with the gel to the affected area in the oral cavity and lightly rub the gel inside. It will immediately begin to be absorbed into the tissues, but its traces can be found at the site of application even after some time, since saliva does not wash it off and the gel does not slip off the mucous membrane.
For periodontitis: inject the gel into the periodontal pocket or apply as a compress. You can also lightly rub into the gums 1-2 times a day.
After application, the gel begins to act in 2-3 minutes. During this time, pain decreases, an anti-inflammatory effect begins: microbes, bacteria, as well as viruses and fungi sensitive to the gel, are destroyed. This effect lasts from 2 to 8 hours.
After applying the gel, do not drink liquids for half an hour and eat for 2-3 hours.
When periodontitis and inflammation of the gums, you need to visit the dentist to identify the causedisease, which may consist in the presence of tartar or plaque. When the dentist identifies and eliminates the cause, he will prescribe a complex therapy using the Cholisal gel, which includes rinsing with antiseptic solutions and the use of therapeutic toothpaste, and, if necessary, the use of antibiotics. "Cholisal-gel" in such cases relieves pain and speeds up recovery, but "alone" he will not cope, and the disease will progress without proper treatment.
Use for stomatitis
For the treatment of aphthous stomatitis, which often causes allergies, it is reasonable to use antiallergic drugs. "Cholisal-gel" will only help to anesthetize the affected areas, but will not cope with the problem.
With herpetic stomatitis, the cause of which is the herpes virus, it is more expedient to use antiviral drugs for treatment. "Cholisal"-gel, although it has an antiviral effect, which is very limited, but it will help relieve the soreness of the affected tissues.
Use for teething
The gel application area should be lightly dried with a gauze swab, then place a 0.5 cm strip of gel on the eruption area and rub lightly.
Babies drool profusely when using Cholisal Gel, so they may choke and cough. For children under one year old, it is better to use products designed specifically to relieve symptoms during teething in the form of syrups, tablets, suppositories, as well as anti-inflammatory toothpastes (“Viburkol” - candles, “Panadol” - candles,syrup, children's "Nurofen" - suspension).

Analogues
The absolute analogue of "Dental-gel" in composition and application is the dental gel "Mundizal", but it is produced in a tube of only 8 g.
Kamistad, a dental gel based on lidocaine, which has a short-term analgesic effect and does not have a strong anti-inflammatory effect, can be considered an analogue of Cholisal. In addition, lidocaine causes numbness in the mouth, which is undesirable for babies. Benzalkonium chloride in the composition of "Kamistad-gel" makes it undesirable to use thisdrug in the treatment of ulcerative and erosive stomatitis.
Calgel dental gel also contains lidocaine, but at a lower concentration than Kamistad, so its analgesic effect will last even less.
"Solcoseryl" - a gel used for stomatitis. It helps heal wounds and sores in the mouth, but is useless for gum disease or teething.
There are many dental gels that have only an antimicrobial effect - Asepta, Metrogyl Denta. They contain antibiotics.
"Dental-gel" is an excellent dental preparation that will certainly help in various cases of inflammation in the oral cavity. Such a drug should always be at hand.
