I'm using Gengigel,because i have swollen Gums

As soon as i put it on,my Lips & Mouth instantly go really day.
I can't see anything in the leaflet mentioning that :-/

Does anyone else experience a really dry mouth,when using it ?
Also it it normal ?
 
I haven't had that experience at all Issy, and it did my gums good. Didn't cure them completely because I'd left them far too late, but using it twice a day did cut down the inflammation but if I stopped using it, the inflammation returned.
I think it says in the instructions not to get it on lips, just rub it into gums, keep your mouth open for a little while for it to dry, but I didn't get a drying of the mouth at all.

A lot of people also use Cosodyl I think it's called, mouthwash. I tried but it's revolting and because of my gagging problem couldnt use it properly even the once.

I also tried Cosodyl Mouthwash. Was too strong for me.
Dunno why it give me a really dry mouth & Lips :-/


P.S. I just sent u email,about that thing ....
 
Think i'm gonna try the Gengigel Mouthwash. Maybe it won't make my mouth so dry :-/

This Gel makes my mouth so dry,i can't talk properly. Also the inside of my lips stick to my Gums !
