Application Reviews
At the moment I am forty-five years old, where a couple of years ago the dentist diagnosed me with periodontal disease of the oral cavity and recommended using Asept's gel.
When I came to the pharmacy, the first thing that surprised me was its price, which at that time was about one hundred and fifty rubles. Upon arrival home, I opened the package and found a special plastic spatula with a gel, which, it turns out, needs to be applied to the gums. Since this spatula was very hard, and even with sharp edges, I did not dare to use it (as it hurt my mouth and everything) and applied the gel to the gums with a finger.
After a ten-day treatment with this remedy, I had all the symptoms of the disease, which do not torment me to this day.
Asept's drug was satisfied, except for low-quality spatula.
Elena, 45 years old
A couple of weeks ago, I felt pain in my gums, because of which I couldn’t chew food properly. On the advice of the dentist, I bought Asept Balsam from a pharmacy. Began to apply it according to the enclosed instructions, twice a day (in the morning and in the evening). Already on the third day of its use, I felt a significant improvement, but the ten-day course, as was said in the instructions, I still continued. At the moment I have no problems with the gums, in addition, the bad breath has disappeared.
