Kiss Postop Pain Goodbye
Designed for in-office and at-home treatment, OraSoothe “Sockit” Gel relieves pain and protects oral wounds using all-natural ingredients
In matters of love and relationships, they say you simply know when you have found “the one.” It can be a lifechanging feeling that evokes a fulfilling sense of relief and contentment. But what if “the one” could be found not only in your heart but in the realm of oral health?
Dr. George Jones, who maintains 2 practices in coastal North Carolina, experienced such bliss as soon as he started using Septodont’s OraSoothe “Sockit” Gel on his patients more than 7 years ago. “I haven’t used any other wound dressing,” he said. “OraSoothe ‘Sockit’ Gel is the only one I have ever tried, and there has been no downside to using it in my office.”
With that, Dr. Jones said his patients have felt similar relief and contentment, giving him positive feedback about OraSoothe “Sockit” Gel, too. “It’s very soothing to patients because it offers some localized pain relief, and it seems to reduce the amount of pain medications people need,” he said. “For the most part, those who have used it tend to be a lot more comfortable and have fewer postop complaints.”
Quick Relief and Recovery
OraSoothe “Sockit” Gel by Septodont is a drug-free, FDA-cleared oral hydrogel wound dressing used to promote optimal healing and pain management after any invasive dental procedure. It can be applied to all injuries of the oral mucosa, and it is ideal for dry-socket prevention and alleviating discomfort on extraction sites, as well as after laser or scaling treatments.
Dr. Jones said he found OraSoothe “Sockit” Gel to be the most beneficial during immediate denture deliveries. “Dentures are usually nobody’s favorite procedure, but OraSoothe ‘Sockit’ Gel makes the process go a little smoother. When you put it underneath the denture and it sits on that exposed wound, it keeps the denture in tighter proximity to it. It really helps bathe those extraction sites in the socket, helping patients heal from the procedure a little faster,” he said.
Easy to Use for Everyone
The unique syringe design further facilitates OraSoothe “Sockit” Gel’s localized and direct placement by both clinicians in the dental office and their patients continuing wound treatment and pain relief at home. Made from all-natural, nontoxic, Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) ingredients, Septodont encourages OraSoothe “Sockit” Gel be sent home with patients of all ages. It can be used as often as needed and is completely safe to swallow.
“It’s usually a really simple discussion with the patients who take it home with them,” Dr. Jones said. “I tell them to put several BB-sized drops on the extraction sites or where they’re feeling postop pain, and that they can always use a little bit more if needed. I’ve noticed that lot of folks will come back and request more if they have truly used it as directed.”
