To cope with them, you need an antibiotic. After a full course of antibiotic therapy, the volume of bacteria begins to decrease sharply and returns to normal. Saliva again becomes healthy and capable control the activity and volume of microorganisms.
The drug Lincomycin effectively helps with many lesions of the oral cavity and other organs:
