Nature's Answer Perio Rub Smoothing Gel is a herbal gel for teeth and gums that you apply directly with a cotton swab, so you can put it exactly where you want it. It contains Phytoplenolin, CoQ10, folic acid and a blend of plant extracts and essential oils in a peppermint-flavoured base. The directions allow use as often as needed, which makes it easy to fit around your normal brushing.
