Heat Therapy
Liquid heat therapy is a complementary therapy that is highly effective for the following:
1. Promotion of healing after oral surgery
2. For the treatment of infections
3. Prevention of infections during wound healing after surgery
How does it work?:
Heat creates higher tissue temperatures, which produces vasodilation that increases the supply of oxygen, nutrients, immune factors, antibiotics, and the elimination of carbon dioxide and metabolic waste
