Corsodyl Mouthwash 300ml

Gingivitis is a serious gum problem and should not be ignored. Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mint Mouthwash is an intensive treatment that's clinically proven to help treat the first stage of gum disease, gingivitis. As gingivitis is a serious condition that should not be ignored it's important to act fast to treat  the symptoms of gingivitis, like bleeding, red or swollen gums. This can stop it from developing into the irreversible second stage of gum disease, periodontitis, which can, eventually, cause tooth loss.

If you have persistent, worsening or serious gum problems then you may require advanced treatment like Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwash. It is designed to be used as a short-term solution alongside a good daily oral care routine. Your dentist may also recommend using it to keep your mouth clean and help gums heal after dental surgery.

How does Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwash work?

Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwash contains 0.2% of the active ingredient chlorhexidine digluconate. This works to kill the plaque bacteria which can irritate the gums and cause gum disease.

The active ingredient, chlorhexidine digluconate acts rapidly, to kill the bacteria that causes plaque within 30 seconds. It also creates a protective antibacterial layer over your gums and teeth, which continues to repel bacteria for up to 12 hours after use, helping to keep your mouth clean and supporting the healing of your gums.

Directions for use:

For adults and children aged 12 years and over:

• Fill the cap to the 10ml line.
• Twice daily, thoroughly rinse the mouth with 10ml Corsodyl Mouthwash for about one minute and spit out.
• A course of about one month (600ml) is recommended for the treatment of gingivitis.
• When treating denture sore mouth, dentures should also be cleansed and soaked in solution for 15 minutes twice daily.

Warnings:

With prolonged use, Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwash may cause temporary staining of the teeth. You can reduce the risk of staining by avoiding eating or drinking dark coloured food and drinks such as tea, coffee or red wine – especially up to one hour use of the mouthwash and by twice daily brushing with toothpaste. If staining continues, it can be removed with a scale and polish from your dentist or hygienist.
