Oro care Mouthwash

Description

Here, are some pointers to know about our product Oro Care Mouthwash.

Oro care Mouthwash is a germicidal mouthwash that reduces bacteria in the mouth. Chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse is used to treat gingivitis (swelling, redness, bleeding gums).  Chlorhexidine has also been used in those with weakened immune systems to decrease the formation of mouth sores (mucositis).

Benefits

1. Effective Antiseptic for Oral Hygiene

• Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.2% w/v is a potent antimicrobial agent that helps reduce:

  • Bacteria

  • Plaque

  • Gingivitis (gum inflammation)

  • Bad breath (halitosis)

2. Helps in Gum Disease Management

• Often prescribed after dental procedures (e.g., tooth extraction, scaling, implants) to prevent infection and support healing.

3. Prevents Tooth Decay

• Reduces bacterial growth that leads to plaque and tartar, lowering the risk of dental cavities.

4. Supports Post-Surgical Oral Care

• Soothes oral tissues and maintains hygiene in hard-to-brush areas during recovery from oral surgery or dental work.

5. Pleasantly Flavored for Better Compliance

• The added flavor makes it easier to use regularly compared to unflavored antiseptic rinses.
