Hi Mary! Thanks for asking! That is a very good question about how to use the Medline Moisturizing Oral Gel.
The Medline Moisturizing Oral Gel (MDS096803H) is designed to be applied to the oral tissues (gums, tongue, and inner cheeks) and the lips to provide long-lasting moisture.
You do not need to rinse it out; it is meant to be left in the mouth.
Directions for Use:
Apply: You would typically apply the gel directly onto the gums, tongue, and other oral tissues using a swab, fingertip, or other applicator (like a DenTips swab).
Leave In: The product is designed to coat the mouth to soothe oral tissues and relieve the symptoms of dry mouth. The goal is to keep the mouth and lips moisturized, so you should not swallow the product immediately or rinse your mouth out afterward.
It functions like a long-lasting moisturizing barrier for your oral tissue, similar to how a lip balm works for your lips.
Thanks,
