The following preparations based on herbal components are used for the treatment of periodontitis:

1. Metrogyl Denta gel is an over-the-counter medication used to treat periodontal disease in the initial stages of the disease. The gel quickly penetrates into tissues and saliva, and has a bactericidal effect, killing pathogenic bacteria. The gel does not give an analgesic effect and does not solve the problem of inflammation, therefore it is necessary to use it in combination with other external means.

Apply this gel carefully;allergic reactions to the novocaine group of components are possible. Anesthesia is the main purpose of this gel, so to block the inflammatory processes, you need to add another remedy.

It removes the edema and has a bactericidal effect, but it is intended for use in the last stages of periodontal disease, when other means no longer help. Therefore, the use of holysala at the beginning of the development of the disease is not recommended, so as not to overload the body with shock doses of the constituents of the drug, and also not to become addictive.
