Chlorhexidine Mouthrinse 1 article

Chlorhexidine Mouthrinse uses chlorhexidine, a bisbiguanide antiseptic with prolonged binding to oral surfaces, for short-term control of plaque in selected clinical situations. It may be recommended after surgery, during acute gingival management or when normal mechanical cleaning is temporarily difficult. Because repeated use can cause staining, taste disturbance and other effects, it is commonly treated as a time-limited therapeutic rinse rather than a routine lifelong mouthwash, and its role is more specific than that of general cosmetic or breath-freshening products.
