Likely many people know what unpleasant sensations are caused by stomatitis. Only pain is worth it! This attack is manifested very often, but for a long time I could not find a suitable remedy.
But one fine day, I was offered a dentamet at the pharmacy. I thought for a while and decided to try it.
The drug was very effective, the only thing that did not like it, it's an unpleasant taste, it's very bitter. I greased the gum for the night, so the taste at this time was not particularly felt. It's amazing, but on the 4th day everything has completely passed!
