Corsodyl Dental Gel

How Corsodyl Dental Gel works

Corsodyl Dental Gel contains the active ingredient chlorhexidine digluconate, an antibacterial agent.

It kills the bacteria that cause dental plaque within 30 seconds, helping to prevent plaque build-up on your teeth and gums for up to 12 hours.

Directions

Always use Corsodyl Dental Gel exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / pharmacist has told you.

Corsodyl Dental Gel must be applied differently depending on the problem you wish to treat.

To treat gum disease: Brush your teeth with 2cm of Corsodyl Dental Gel for at least one minute. Do this once or twice a day for around a month.

To treat mouth ulcers or oral thrush: Apply the gel directly to the affected area using a clean fingertip or a cotton bud. Do this once or twice a day for at least 1 minute. Once the area has healed, continue use for 2 more days.

To treat denture sore mouth: Thoroughly brush your dentures with 2.5cm of gel on a moistened toothbrush. Do this once or twice a day for about a month.
