Antibacterial Oral Rinse for Gum Health & Mouth Ulcers
Chlorhexidine Mouthwash is a highly effective antimicrobial oral rinse used to treat and prevent gingivitis (gum disease). It works by targeting the bacteria responsible for plaque formation and gum inflammation, providing an intensive cleaning action for the mouth and throat.
Gum Care: Manages redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums (gingivitis).
Healing Support: Promotes the healing of mouth ulcers and oral thrush (candidal infections).
Post-Dental Care: Often recommended by dentists for use following dental surgery or during orthodontic treatment to maintain oral hygiene.
Formulation: Alcohol-free and sugar-free, making it suitable for a wide range of users, including those with sensitive mouths or diabetes.
Dose: Rinse the mouth with 10ml of undiluted mouthwash for approximately one minute, then spit out.
Frequency: Use twice daily, typically in the morning and evening.
Critical Timing: Do not use immediately after brushing your teeth. Most toothpastes contain ingredients that neutralize chlorhexidine. Wait at least 30 minutes after brushing, or rinse thoroughly with water before using the mouthwash.
Post-Rinse: Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after use.
Duration: Do not use for longer than 4 weeks unless directed by a dentist or doctor.
Staining: Prolonged use can cause temporary brown staining on the teeth, tongue, and dental fillings. This is not permanent and can usually be removed by a professional dental cleaning.
Age Limit: Not recommended for children under 12 years of age unless advised by a healthcare professional.
Precautions: For oral use only. Do not swallow.
Common: Temporary alteration in taste or a tingling sensation on the tongue during initial use.
Rare: Swelling of the salivary glands or skin irritation.
