Description

Corsodyl Mint Mouthwash – 300ml

Corsodyl Mint Mouthwash is an antibacterial mouth rinse containing chlorhexidine digluconate, used to treat and prevent gum disease (gingivitis), reduce dental plaque, help heal mouth ulcers, and support recovery after dental surgery.

How It Works

The active ingredient, chlorhexidine digluconate, is an antiseptic that kills a wide range of bacteria in the mouth. By reducing the number of harmful bacteria, it helps control plaque build-up, reduces gum inflammation, and creates an environment that supports healing of sore or damaged gum tissue and mouth ulcers.
