Corsodyl Dental Gel 50g

Corsodyl Dental Gel is especially useful when targeting specific areas within the mouth.

• Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums)
• Mouth ulcers
• Oral thrush (Candida infection)
• Denture sore mouth
• It can also be used to promote gum healing following dental surgery or treatment

If your gums are bleeding either when you are flossing or brushing, first, step up your oral hygiene routine – especially between teeth cleaning.. if after a week or two there is no reduction or you are in pain or discomfort see your dentist to work out why your gums are like this. Bleeding gums are not healthy and there are a number of things that may cause bleeding – your dental team will be able to help

This gel contains 1% chlorhexidine digluconate which has a dual action – It attacks and helps destroy the plaque bacteria which cause gum irritation and it creates a protective layer over your teeth and gums for up to 12 hours helping prevent the build-up of plaque biofilm. It will help control symptoms but not heal gum disease – you need to seek professional advise and treatment.

HOW TO USE  Corsodyl 1% w/w Dental Gel is an effective short term treatment for gum problems. Use as directed on the product label or by your dental team.
