Corsodyl Spray

Corsodyl Spray

Corsodyl Spray offers a unique dispenser that is especially useful for people who have difficulty managing liquids (as is required with the mouthwash) such as the handicapped, the elderly or infirm, or when targeting specific areas in the mouth. It is available as a mint flavoured spray from all good pharmacies.

HOW TO USE
Remove cap and fit pump head to the top of the bottle.

Spray tooth and gum surfaces, ulcers or other sore areas, using up to 12 pump actions twice daily (each pump delivers 0.14ml of spray).
Remove the pump head after each use and replace cap.

DURATION OF USE

Gum disease
Corsodyl can be used for up to 30 days, depending on the severity of your condition.
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
Also cleanse and soak the dentures in Corsodyl mouthwash for 15 minutes twice daily.

Dental surgery or treatment
Ask for advice from 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.
