Active Ingredient

• Chlorhexidine Gluconate (0.2%): Known for its antiseptic properties, this active ingredient is clinically proven to reduce dental plaque and gingivitis, aiding in the treatment of early gum disease.

Key Benefits

• Post-Dental Care: Supports healing after dental procedures and is beneficial for those with orthodontic appliances.
• Denture Rinse: Can be used to prevent breath issues related to dentures.

Usage Instructions

• Adults: Rinse or gargle with 10 mL undiluted after meals for one minute, then spit out.
• Children Under 10: Use 5 mL under supervision.
• Optimal Use: For best results, use after brushing and flossing, and avoid using within one hour of toothpaste to prevent deactivation of chlorhexidine.
