What is Corsodyl 0.2% Mouthwash?
Corsodyl 0.2% Gum Disease & Bleeding Gum Treatment Antibacterial Mouthwash is an oral medicine. It contains chlorhexidine digluconate for an effective gum disease treatment for adults, where gums may bleed when brushed.
Why choose Corsodyl?
When left untreated, gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss, so it is important to act fast at the first sign of gingivitis, including bleeding, red, or swollen gums. Thanks to the active agent chlorhexidine digluconate, Corsodyl 0.2% Mouthwash reduces the formation of dental plaque. It kills the leading cause of gum disease in 30 seconds* before it gets a chance to develop into irreversible periodontitis, the second stage of gum disease.
This antibacterial mouthwash forms a protective layer over teeth and gums for up to 12 hours and maintains good oral health, managing oral thrush and denture sore mouth. It also promotes the healing of gums after dental surgery or treatment.
What does it taste like?
This medicated Corsodyl 0.2% Mouthwash comes in fresh mint flavour.
