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).

Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, ear infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall formation, leading to the destruction of the bacteria. Amoxicillin is commonly prescribed in capsule form for its effectiveness and ease of use. To ensure the best results, it should be taken exactly as prescribed, and the full course should be completed even if symptoms improve early, to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Augmentin is a combination antibiotic containing amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, ear infections, sinusitis, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. Amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, works by stopping bacterial growth, while clavulanate potassium helps prevent bacterial resistance by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes. This combination enhances effectiveness against certain antibiotic-resistant bacteria, making Augmentin a broad-spectrum treatment option.
