Chlorhexidine tips from pharmacists
You should swish and spit one capful of undiluted chlorhexidine twice a day, morning and evening. Do not mix chlorhexidine with water, as this can make the medicine less effective.
Do not eat immediately, brush your teeth, or rinse your mouth with water or other oral fluids after using chlorhexidine.
Chlorhexidine can alter taste perception. Use it after meals to prevent changes in taste and decreased taste sensation.
Contact your dentist if you experience severe or persistent oral irritation while using chlorhexidine.
Chlorhexidine is not a substitute for brushing and flossing.
Keep your all dental appointments while using chlorhexidine. You should go to the dentist every 6 months for dental prophylaxis (routine cleaning and examination).
