Corsodyl Mouthwash

Corsodyl is an antibacterial solution which inhibits the formation of dental plaque, and is used to:

• Treat & prevent gingivitis (gum disease - usual sign is gums that bleed when brushed)
• Promote gum healing after dental surgery or treatment
• Control mouth ulcers
• Maintain mouth hygiene
• Manage oral thrush & denture sore mouth

Corsodyl has a dual action approach:

1. Its antibacterial ingredient attacks and helps to kill the plaque bacteria that are causing your gums irritation.
   
2. It creates a protective layer over your teeth and gums for up to 12 hours, thus helping to prevent any new plaque from forming

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.

Should tooth discolouration remain, this can be removed by a simple scale and polish from your dentist or hygienist.
