Chlorhexidine oral rinse treats bacterial gum disease (gingivitis) by killing or preventing the growth of bacteria, which helps to reduce inflammation and reduce bleeding of your gums. The medication is used along with regular tooth brushing and flossing to treat gingivitis. This medication has been used to prevent tooth decay in those who are unable to brush their teeth and is used in those with weakened immune systems to decrease the formulation of mouth sores (mucositis).
- Chlorhexidine oral rinse is frequently recommended to combat gingivitis, a gum inflammation typically resulting from plaque accumulation.
- Chlorhexidine oral rinse is effective due to its broad-spectrum antibiotic properties, allowing it to eliminate or suppress the growth of various bacteria, including those linked to gum disease.
- The typical dosage is 15 ml (about one tablespoon) twice daily after brushing your teeth. It’s recommended to swish the solution in your mouth for 30 seconds and then spit it out.
- After using chlorhexidine, it's advised not to rinse your mouth with water, eat, or drink immediately afterward to allow the medicine to work effectively.
- Use in addition to regular dental cleanings.
