Oral disinfection process

There are a large number of bacteria in everyone's mouth. Because the mouth is the part that comes into contact with the most things, the bacteria in the food will remain in the mouth. If there are too many bacteria, it can cause oral inflammation and swollen gums. Before performing a tooth extraction, the doctor will generally disinfect the patient's mouth to avoid signs of wound infection. It is also very necessary to understand the oral disinfection process at this time.
