For the throat

The prepared solution is used immediately after dilution. In order to gargle, the technique of the procedure is important; this increases the effectiveness of the active components of the drug. How to use the tincture correctly?

The process consists of the following steps:

  • The total rinsing time is about 2 minutes

    A small amount of solution is taken into the mouth;

  • the head is thrown back so that the gaze is directed upward;
  • gradually push the air out through the mouth so that gurgling is heard;
  • after 10-15 seconds, spit out the liquid;
  • repeat the steps several times until the solution runs out.

The total rinsing time is about 2 minutes.

For the mouth

In the presence of inflammatory processes on the oral mucosa, it is recommended to use the drug Rotokan in one of the suggested ways:

  • as a rinse;
  • for applications.

For stomatitis, periodontal disease and ulcers, turundas moistened with the prepared solution are placed between the gum and cheek. Action time – 20 minutes, course of treatment – ​​5-14 days.

When rinsing the mouth, it should be taken into account that the mucous membrane is treated with the drug for 1-1.5 minutes (this is approximately 3 approaches of 20-30 seconds).

For teeth

When rinsing the mouth, it should be taken into account that the mucous membrane is treated with the drug for 1-1.5 minutes

To treat dental problems, Rotocan diluted with water is used in the following order.

Thin turundas are rolled out of cotton wool or bandage, which are thoroughly moistened with the prepared solution.

The moistened blanks are inserted into the gum pockets for 15 minutes. The procedures need to be carried out every day or every other day, 4-6 times in total.

It is also possible to do oral baths for teeth lasting 1-2 minutes. The course consists of 3-5 days with a two-time repetition.

  • orally – 60-100 ml of the diluted drug 3-4 times a day (taken half an hour before meals or 1 hour after eating), the course is 2-3 weeks;
  • enemas - 50-100 ml of diluted solution 1-2 times a day, course is 3-6 days.

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.

Flux treatment

Sometimes gum inflammation can take you by surprise on weekends/holidays. What to do if your cheek is swollen from gumboil, and Rotokan is not in the first aid kit? The drug can be replaced by:

  • Malavit;
  • Furacilin;
  • Chlorhexidine;
  • Betadine.

If the listed drugs are not available, a soda-salt solution (a teaspoon of each component in a cup of warm water) or medicinal herbs, for example, oak bark, will help. Thanks to tannins, the product destroys pathogenic flora and cleanses the mucous membrane.

How to use Rotokan for flux? You should prepare a solution of the drug and moisten a gauze or cotton pad, then apply the material between the gum and cheek for 20 minutes. There is no need to rinse your teeth after application; refrain from drinking/eating for a while to consolidate the healing effect.

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.

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.
