Corsodyl Mouthwash Mint information

What is Corsodyl Mouthwash and what is it used for?

Corsodyl mouthwash mint is a specially designed treatment for oral ailments such as mouth ulcers, oral thrush and gum disease, helping to promote good all-around oral hygiene. Because of its minty flavour, Corsodyl Mouthwash will leave your mouth feeling refreshed and revitalized.

How can Corsodyl Mouthwash Mint help?

  • Protects the teeth against the build-up plaque.
  • Fights gum disease (gingivitis).
  • Improves the healing rate of gums after oral surgery.
  • Helps to treat mouth ulcers and oral thrush.
  • Decreases gum inflammation due to irritation.

Like Corsodyl dental gel, Corsodyl mouthwash contains chlorhexidine as its active ingredient. Chlorhexidine acts as both a disinfectant and an antiseptic, helping to promote better oral hygiene.

Corsodyl is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline and is suitable for adults and children over the age of 12 years. It is particularly useful for individuals that find brushing their teeth a problem, such as after dental surgery. By thoroughly rinsing the mouth with Corsodyl mouthwash you will kill almost all dangerous micro-organisms present within your mouth.

How does Corsodyl Mouthwash work?

Corsodyl contains the active ingredient Chlorhexidine, which is a disinfectant and antiseptic solution. Chlorhexidine attacks problem micro-organisms within your mouth, preventing infections and other damaging conditions. Micro-organisms include bacterial spores, viruses, and fungi. Chlorhexidine also acts as a barrier against plaque build-up on teeth, helping to decrease the risk of gum disease.

Alternatives to Corsodyl Mouthwash

It is important to use Corsodyl Mouthwash as part of your daily dental care regime. Corsodyl should not be used as a replacement for thorough twice-daily brushing.

If you are suffering from oral pain caused by mouth ulcers or dental surgery, using a treatment designed specifically to provide pain relief such as Difflam oral rinse may be used independently or in conjunction with Corsodyl Mouthwash.
