Chlorhexidine mouthwash is an antiseptic solution that is used to help control and prevent the growth of bacteria in the mouth. It is commonly used to treat and prevent gum disease, as well as to prevent infections after dental procedures.
Chlorhexidine mouthwash is available as 0.12% ,0.1%, 0.2%. It is used for a short period of time, usually a week or two, before and after the procedure. While chlorhexidine mouthwash is generally safe and well-tolerated, there are some potential side effects to be aware of.
The frequency of use of chlorhexidine mouthwash depends on the reason for use and the instructions provided by your dentist. In general, chlorhexidine mouthwash is typically used twice a day, in the morning and before bed, for a period of one to two weeks.
To use chlorhexidine mouthwash, you should first brush. Then, rinse your mouth with the solution for about 30 seconds, making sure to swish it around your mouth and teeth. Spit the solution out and do not swallow it.
The duration of use of chlorhexidine mouthwash depends on the reason for use and the instructions provided by your dentist. Prolonged use of chlorhexidine mouthwash can lead to side effects such as staining of the teeth and tongue, altered taste perception, dry mouth, and, in rare cases, allergic reactions.
