Overview
Corsodyl Mouthwash Alcohol-Free contains chlorhexidine digluconate, a clinically proven antibacterial ingredient that targets the bacteria responsible for gum disease. It helps reduce plaque build-up, soothe inflamed gums, and promote healing.
This mouthwash is commonly used to manage gingivitis, bleeding gums, and other gum infections, as well as before or after dental treatment to help maintain oral hygiene. It can also help keep mouth ulcers clean, reducing the risk of infection and supporting natural healing. The alcohol-free formula is gentler on the mouth and suitable for those who prefer to avoid alcohol-based mouthwashes.
Corsodyl is intended for short-term use to control gum problems. Continued long-term use should only be on the advice of a dental professional.
