What it is and what it is used for

Tantum Verde oral mucosal spray also has disinfectant properties and a moderate surface anesthetic action.

Tantum Verde oral mucosal spray is used for the treatment of symptoms of inflammation and irritation, including those associated with pain in the gums, mouth, and throat (e.g., gingivitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis), also following conservative or extractive dental therapy (e.g., cavity treatment or tooth extraction).
