Reviews about the product

Svetlana, 27 years old:

I often use Rotokan for toothache and gum swelling. The wisdom tooth does not erupt in any way and periodically gives a signal of itself with unpleasant painful sensations. Rotokan fixes the problem very quickly.

Galina, 46 years old:

After removing wisdom teeth or damaged carious stumps, you should not rinse with hot soda or saline solutions. A friend of mine did this and ended up bleeding from her gums. The doctors barely stopped him. I take baths from Rotokan/Romazulan for a few seconds, but often. You can’t gurgle in your mouth, you just need to take some liquid and hold it.

Marina, 29 years old:

They removed my tooth, and in the evening I decided to treat the wound with traditional decoctions (sage and chamomile). And that’s what happened - particles of grass got into the wound. I filtered the broth, but the wound was still clogged. Then I learned that you can’t actively gurgle in your mouth, and it’s better to use Rotokan solution instead of traditional herbs. I'll keep this in mind for the future.

Tamara, 37 years old:

My husband got a flu infection on Saturday. A neighbor advised me to make lotions from Rotokan - soak gauze and apply it. Thank you very much for the advice: at first the flux stopped hurting, then it began to decrease. Along with the lotions, my husband also rinsed his gums slowly - he held the liquid in his mouth and spat.

Instructions for use. How to dilute the solution

The duration of therapy largely depends on the degree of mucosal damage. On average, you need to rinse at least 3 times a day every day until the pain in the gums goes away. If no improvement is observed within a week, then you should change the product.

How to dilute Rotokan for gargling

An effective and simple option for treating a throat would be to use Rotocan extract. To rinse, you must follow the following recommendations:

• Dilute 1 teaspoon of the drug in a glass of warm water;
• take the resulting solution into your mouth in a volume of 2–3 spoons;
• gargle for 1–2 minutes, then spit;
• repeat the procedure until the end of the solution;
• in the absence of negative reactions, repeat the procedure after 4–5 hours;
• on day 2, the dosage of the Rotokan solution is increased to 2 teaspoons.

On the third day, if inflammation is severe, add 3 tablespoons to 250 ml of boiled water.

Rotokan for rinsing gums and teeth

Dosages and methods of use are determined by the doctor. When my gums hurt, I use Rotokan in the form of an aqueous solution. 1 teaspoon per glass of water is enough. In the absence of adverse reactions, the dose is adjusted to 3 tablespoons.

The use of a certain concentration of Rotokan for gums depends on the age of the patient, the location of inflammation, the severity and duration of the disease. The simplest method of treatment is rinsing. The procedure is carried out as follows:

1. Shake the bottle several times and open the lid.
2. Stir one teaspoon of Rotokan in a glass of warm water.
3. Rinse the gums thoroughly, focusing on the area where inflammation is present.
4. After one minute of treatment, spit out the Rotokan well.
5. Carry out the procedure until the liquid in the glass runs out.

Attention! The use of tincture in its pure form is prohibited. Alcohol in the composition without dilution will cause a chemical burn to the mucous membranes of the mouth and gums.

Usually there is improvement within a week. It is worth considering that Rotokan should be used regularly for gums, up to 3 times a day after meals.

Do not swallow the solution while rinsing. If Rotokan is ingested in small quantities, there will be no side effects. However, in certain cases, irritation of the gastric mucosa and the formation of unpleasant sensations are possible.

At the beginning of treatment, do not exceed the volume of 1 teaspoon. If there are no negative effects, after 24 hours you can dilute Rotokan to rinse the gums at the rate of 3 teaspoons per 250 ml of water.

Treatment of periodontitis begins with professional cleaning of teeth and gums. After rinsing, periodontal pockets are treated. In this case, Rotokan is used by soaking cotton wool in the solution and leaving them in the pathological formation for a day. This procedure is indicated no more than 5–6 times.

Help in treating flux

Often gum pain is not only due to gingivitis or periodontitis. A problem such as gumboil can take you by surprise on weekends and holidays, when a doctor is unavailable. The inflammatory process quickly spreads and the cheek visibly swells.

Rotokan is suitable for providing first aid and localizing a pathological focus.

With flux, the drug is no longer used as a rinse. The gums are subjected to application for 15–20 minutes. A gauze strip is placed in Rotokan, soaked and applied to the area of ​​inflammation.

After application to the gums, you should refrain from taking liquids and food for 1.5 hours.

After such measures, the flux will not completely disappear, but this will help prevent the spread of pathology and temporarily improve the general condition.

Removal of a tooth

Is it necessary to use Rotokan after tooth extraction, and what are the dangers of root removal? There is no consensus regarding rinsing the mouth after dental surgery. Some doctors believe that rinsing with solutions removes a naturally formed blood clot, which acts as a barrier against the penetration of dirt and infection into the wound.

The ban on rinsing after surgery to remove a root/tooth is based on the assertion of possible suppuration of the wound and the spread of infection on the surface of the gum tissue. However, a number of doctors consider rinsing necessary. Why? Their arguments are based on the following arguments:

• rinsing helps remove food particles after eating;
• eliminates the accumulation of microorganisms in the wound;
• creates the prerequisites for rapid tissue healing.

If there are carious, untreated teeth around the wound surface after root removal, the risk of infection is very high. Bacteria can also move into the wound from poorly cleaned teeth and plaque.

This condition of the oral cavity can lead to the development of alveolitis and foci of inflammation in the wounded gum. Timely sanitation reduces the aggressiveness of microorganisms and eliminates their impact on the wounded mucosa.

For sanitization, you can use medical products, soda/salt solutions and infusions of medicinal herbs.

How to rinse your mouth correctly? You should keep the medicinal solution in your mouth without active action of the facial muscles: do not rinse, but arrange a medicinal bath inside the oral cavity. After holding the solution, you should simply spit the liquid out of your mouth. Baths should be done every 15-16 minutes until the mucous membrane heals. In this case, the blood clot will not be washed out of the wound and will continue its protective effect.

Adviсe:

• stop eating/drinking immediately after surgery;
• do not use tobacco and alcoholic beverages for a while;
• do not go to the steam room or take a hot bath/shower on the day of surgery;
• exclude heavy physical activity and psychological stress.

Compliance with the recommendations listed will facilitate the healing of the wound surface.

Rotokan for gargling for children

Due to the presence of alcohol, Rotokan is not popular in early childhood. Therefore, the instructions for use for rinsing exclude ages under 12 years. If the child is able to rinse correctly, then the concentration of the active substance in the solution is reduced. Add only 0.5 teaspoon of Rotokan to a glass of water.

It is worth considering that the drug has a specific taste that children do not like at all. In this case, they refuse to gargle their throats and gums. The procedure is replaced by inhalations using a Nebulizer. The working solution is prepared by mixing 2 tablespoons of water and one drop of Rotokan. Inhalation for the treatment of gums can also be used by children under 12 years of age. The particles of the product will act superficially and will not be absorbed into the blood.

Rotokan during pregnancy

The drug is not prescribed during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The reason is the presence of ethanol. In some cases, the development of side effects in the fetus due to plant components has been established. Rotocan for the treatment of gums during lactation can be prescribed if breastfeeding refuses.

Attention! Taking Rotokan orally during pregnancy or lactation is strictly prohibited.

If there is a need to use Rotokan for gum disease and its therapeutic effects are higher than the risk of harm to the child, then it is prescribed with caution. At the beginning of the therapeutic course, a minimum concentration of the diluted solution is allowed. In the absence of negative effects in the infant, the dosage and frequency of use is gradually increased.

Bottom line

If you follow the instructions correctly, Rotokan will relieve swollen gums, remove ulcerative formations on the mucous membrane and neutralize the oral cavity from pathogenic agents - microbes.

When using Rotocan, after removing a tooth root, you should first rinse your mouth with boiled water, and only then take a medicinal bath with the drug. Active movements of the facial muscles should not be allowed.

In the presence of serious systemic disorders of the body (renal failure, etc.), the drug is not recommended. The use of the product by children is prohibited as it contains alcohol.
