Dr. Huda Aljonaidy usually recommends VEGA® Oral Care Recovery Kit as natural adjunctive therapy for dental pre/postsurgical treatment. It consists of antimicrobial peppermint rinse, sublingual (pain relief) spray and topical peppermint gel. VEGA® Oral Care recovery kit improves recovery and accelerates natural healing after dental surgeries such as extractions, dental implants as well as dry sockets and oral ulcers which eventually can significantly reduce the need for narcotic pain medications and steroids.
