Benefits of Amgargl Gargle
In Treatment of Mouth infection
Whenever there is an overgrowth of microorganisms in our mouth, that are otherwise normally present, it can lead to unpleasant symptoms suggestive of mouth infection. These symptoms include bad breath, swollen gums, unpleasant taste changes, sensitivity of teeth to hot or cold food/liquid etc. Amgargl kills and prevents growth of these bacteria, thereby relieving these symptoms. This helps in maintaining good oral hygiene.
Poor oral hygiene can be extremely embarrassing and can affect your social life. This medicine helps restore your self confidence and makes it easier for you to go about your daily activities. Continue using it as advised by the doctor to get maximum benefit.
