Chlorhexidine Digluconate 0.2%
Aniseed Flavour
As a dentist, I frequently recommend Corsodyl mouthwash for specific clinical situations where its active ingredient chlorhexidine provides exceptional benefits.
I trust this product to effectively fight plaque build-up, treat gingivitis, and protect vulnerable gums when patients need intensive intervention. Itโs particularly valuable for promoting healing after dental surgery or treatment, and Iโve seen excellent results in stopping bleeding, reducing swelling, and calming inflamed gums.
In my practice, I emphasise thatย Corsodyl Intensive Treatment Mouthwashย should be used as a targeted, short-term solution rather than a daily rinse.
Just in the past few months, Iโve had two patients return with stained teeth and brownish tongues โ both cases resulted from overuse of chlorhexidine mouthwash. Many patients donโt carefully read the label and simply follow what they see in advertisements. I always remind patients that thereโs also aย Corsodyl Dailyย formulation with a lower concentration for longer-term use.
I personally find the taste unpleasant, as do many of my patients, but its effectiveness for acute gum problems makes it worthwhile. I encourage my patients to use it with appropriate caution, emphasisingย awareness of common side effects like temporary taste changes, tooth and tongue staining, increased calculus buildup, and occasionally oral irritation or allergic reactions.
