Corsodyl Mint and Original Mouthwash
Corsodyl Mouthwash
Contains chlorhexidine digluconate
Always read the label
With its convenient and easy to use format, the mouthwash is also particularly useful when more than one area in the mouth needs attention.
It is available in both Mint (300 ml and 600 ml plastic bottles) and Original (Aniseed) flavours (300 ml plastic bottle).
HOW TO USE
After brushing in the morning and evening, rinse your mouth out thoroughly with water.
Follow this by rinsing the mouth with 10 ml of Corsodyl for about one minute.
DURATION OF USE
Gum disease
Corsodyl can be used for up to 30 days, depending on the severity of your condition.
For the early signs of gingivitis (e.g. bleeding/ swollen gums), in combination with regular flossing and brushing, a 5-7 day course of Corsodyl can help kick-start your recovery.
If you are unsure of how long to use it for, please consult your dentist or pharmacist.
Mouth ulcers and oral thrush
Continue to use for 2 days after healing has occurred.
Denture sore mouth
Dentures should also be cleaned and soaked in Corsodyl for 15 minutes twice daily.
Dental surgery or treatment
Rinse as directed by your Dentist
WHEN USING
Because of the way Corsodyl forms a protective layer across the teeth and gums to help prevent new plaque from forming, some temporary discolouration can occur on the teeth and tongue.
In the majority of cases this can be removed by brushing, and will disappear once the treatment has stopped.
Discolouration usually occurs when certain foods and drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine are consumed within an hour of using Corsodyl. Other sources such as beer and cigarettes cause staining but are not associated with chlorhexidine digluconate in Corsodyl.
Below is a table of things to avoid, and some alternatives, during usage to help minimise any discolouration.
If the tooth discolouration remains, this can be removed by a simple scale and polish from your dentist or hygienist.
