Opinion of consumers
Reviews of ordinary people who have tried in practice rinsing Rotokan solution.
Used to use this remedy for sore throats, but recently learned about another of its uses: the dentist recommended it when I grinded the tooth before installing the crown.
There were unpleasant, even painful sensations in the gums, to calm them down, I rinsed my mouth with Rotokan. The drug is very helpful, it's much easier!
Marina, 36 years old
A couple of days ago, very unsuccessfully went to a cafe - badly injured her gum about a fish bone. The friend advised Rotokan, recommended as a cheap and, importantly, very effective tool, immediately bought it, began to use, as written in the instructions for use, as a lotion.
The next day the gum was almost not swollen and did not even ache, it was more likely that she was aching. Well, a day later, there was no trace of all the pain and swelling. I can safely recommend this drug.
Catherine, 26
I had to remove the tooth, the extraction was difficult. Desna looked simply awful, and very sick.
The dentist prescribed Rotokan to me, usually I just dialed a little of the solution in my mouth and kept it so that the scab from the wound does not fly off( so maybe if I gurgle too much in the mouth).
On the second day I woke up already without the sensation of pain and bloatedness! Of course, I had to use the medicine for a few more days, but in any case, I'm glad that the effect of his admission came almost immediately and was only better.
