Consumer opinion
The true state of affairs will disclose consumer feedback.
I use Metrogil Denta to prevent gum disease. My problem is the rapid formation of tartar, which causes the gingiva to become inflamed, and ultrasonic cleaning is necessary. In order to avoid such troubles I use Metrogil Denta once every three to four months. I put a cotton bud over the entire surface of the gums. An additional bonus is a pleasant menthol flavor that refreshes your breath.

They say that Metrogil Denta is expensive. Perhaps, given that the weight of the tube is only 20 g. But the drug is very economically consumed, even if it is used by all family members. I personally use a gel to treat gum bleeding. I apply the composition once a day at night. If there are abrasions and sores in the mouth - I also use this compound. It prevents inflammation, and the wounds heal quickly.
Tatyana 45 years old, Tyumen
On the advice of a doctor, she bought Metrogil Dent gel for the treatment of gingivitis. The composition is pleasantly cold and slightly anesthetized. After the first application, I noticed improvements: soreness decreased, bleeding decreased, inflammation became less pronounced. After a 10-day course, the symptoms of the disease are almost completely gone.
