How Ultigel Products work
Benzocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a combination of two medicines: Benzocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate1 and Benzocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate2. Benzocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate1 is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain which decreases sensation of pain. Benzocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate2 is an antiseptic and disinfectant. It works by binding to the surface of teeth, inner cheeks and gums. This kills the infectious microorganisms that cause gum disease, ulcers, and other mouth infections.

Along with Ultigel use, following some habits such as gentle brushing, flossing/interdental cleaning, salt‑water rinses if advised, well‑fitting dentures/aligners, and avoiding spicy/acidic foods that worsen mouth soreness can speed up the healing.
