What is Corsodyl Mint

Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash treats early signs of gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums. Gingivitis presents symptoms like bleeding gum with swelling and redness. If left untreated, gingivitis can cause periodontitis - a significantly severe gum infection that damages the soft tissue in your gums and your jawbone. This also causes teeth to become loose and fall off prematurely. Mint-flavoured Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mouthwash is an effective treatment for gum infections that might cause irreversible damage in the future. Its germicidal formula boosts the benefits of daily oral hygiene. Alternatively, you can also use it to fast track gum healing after dental procedures.

How effective is Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash?

Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash contains 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate. It is an active ingredient that has antiseptic, antibacterial and disinfectant properties. It works to eliminate very specific oral bacteria, preventing gum infections and premature tooth loss and jawbone issues. Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash is an intensive treatment that begins its action rapidly. It starts killing bacteria that cause plaque within 30 seconds of use. Additionally, what makes it more effective is the protective antibacterial layer it creates over teeth for up to 12 hours after use. This prevents new plaque from building up and stops the manifestation of other gum disorders.

Can I buy Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash online?

Yes, you can buy Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash at Click Pharmacy. The mouthwash is an over-the-counter intensive treatment and is often prescribed by dentists and oral hygienists. Since it treats gum-related issues, it is advisable to consult your dentist to check for the severity of the problem. You can also book your appointment with Click Pharmacy doctors and specialists. If you place your order for Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash on Click Pharmacy before 3 pm, it is usually delivered the next working day.

What dose should I choose?

Depending on the severity of your gum problems, your dentist or oral hygienist might prescribe dosage. However, the recommended dose for Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash is 0.5 fluid ounces - or about 10-15 ml. You can use the mouthwash twice daily, rinsing for about 30 seconds. Do not swallow the liquid after rinsing. It is best not to brush teeth, rinse with water or other mouthwashes, or eat and drink after using Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash. It is also important to note that this mouthwash is not meant to replace brushing or other oral hygiene processes. It boosts the benefits of toothpaste as a supplementary antibacterial.

How should I use Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash?

Before you start using Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash or other over-the-counter treatments, we recommend consulting a dentist or a Click Pharmacy specialist. Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash treats gum diseases, but if your symptoms are severe, you might need more than just this mouthwash. It is recommended to use 0.5 fluid ounces - or about 10-15 ml - Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash twice daily, rinsing for about 30 seconds. Do not swallow after rinsing. Also, do not brush teeth, rinse with water, use other mouthwashes, or eat and drink after using Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash.

 

How does Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash work?

Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash begins working on oral bacteria instantly, killing them within 30 seconds of use. Its active ingredient - chlorhexidine digluconate - has antiseptic, antibacterial, and disinfectant properties. It also creates a protective antibacterial layer on teeth for up to 12 hours. This layer prevents further build-up of plaque, which in turn complicates existing gum issues. However, Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash is not a standalone solution for gum problems. You need to maintain good oral hygiene to see the full effect of the mouthwash and treat your gum issues effectively.

How long do I use Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash for before I notice a difference?

Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash works to maximize the benefits of good, regular oral hygiene. Within 30 seconds of using the mouthwash, it begins eliminating plaque-causing bacteria. Its active ingredient - chlorhexidine digluconate - is antiseptic, antibacterial, and disinfectant in nature. It helps in creating a formidable, protective antibacterial layer on teeth for up to 12 hours, preventing further gum issues. Do not brush teeth, rinse with water, use other mouthwashes, or eat and drink after using Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash. After a month of regular use, in addition to good oral hygiene, you should start seeing results and reduction in plaque, or redness, swelling, and bleeding of gums. Results can be achieved in just two days for other ailments like ulcers or thrush. You can also soak your dentures in Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash for about 15 minutes twice a day. But if your gum issues are severe, your dentist might be able to prescribe the appropriate dose and course.

What are the side effects of Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash?

Users of Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash have reported a few side effects. This includes a temporary disturbance in their ability to taste. This is perhaps due to the mild burning, tingling, or numbing sensation sometimes experienced on the tongue after using the mouth. Another side effect reported is that it also might cause dryness in the mouth and temporary staining of the tongue. These side effects, however, are reported to disappear when users stopped using the mouthwash.

Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash might also cause browning of teeth or localized brown stains on teeth. This is said to be temporary and can be avoided with good oral hygiene. Drinking tea, coffee, or red wine is also said to contribute to teeth discolouration when using the mouthwash if consumed within an hour of use. If the stains do not go away once you stop using the mouthwash, and maintain good brushing practices, consult your dentist. You might need scaling or polishing treatments.

Besides, a few users have experienced peeling of the insides of their mouth and swelling of salivary glands. We recommend discussing what to expect with your dentist, oral hygienist or Click Pharmacy specialist and inform them if you notice soreness, irritation, or swelling in the mouth. Similarly, stop using the mouthwash in case you feel any difficulty in breathing.

When shouldn't I use Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash?

If you are allergic to ingredients of Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash, we recommend not using the product. If your gum issues are severe, Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash might not be enough for treatment. Speak to your dentist or oral hygienist for the best course of action in that case. Also, the product is not recommended for children under the age of 12 unless prescribed by an expert.

What Is the difference between Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash and Boots Expert Antibacterial Mouthwash with Chlorhexidine?

Boots Expert antibacterial mouthwash also contains chlorhexidine, which is clinically proven to kill oral bacteria. It is recommended to use the product twice daily after brushing your teeth to keep the mouth fresh and germ-free. However, Corsodyl Chlorhexidine Mint Mouthwash is an intensive treatment.
