Why is antiseptic treatment so important?
Rinsing and irrigation of the oral cavity in the postoperative period have the following purpose and perform such useful functions:
- relieve swelling of the gums;
- remove food, saliva and other substances favorable for the development of infection from the well;
- protects a blood clot in the wound from the penetration of bacteria, thereby accelerating healing;
- destroys the harmful substances that caused the tooth loss;
- remove from the hole pieces of soft and hard tissue that remained there after tooth extraction;

Universal in the service of dentists and patients
In dental practice Miramistine is one of the most sought-after antiseptics. Its main pharmacological 
action is the destruction of staphylococci and streptococci. It also actively manifests itself in the fight against spore-forming, anaerobic, gram-positive and other bacteria.

- during the operation the doctor opened a purulent abscess;
- , the remaining teeth in the mouth are damaged by caries - in this case it is necessary to prevent the infection from spreading to the open hole( do not forget to heal all damaged teeth after full healing of the wound);
- there are diseases of the oral cavity, such as gingivitis or stomatitis.
