Warnings:

Chlorhexidine Mouthwash Mint Warnings:

May cause:

• Tooth/tongue staining
• Increased tartar
• Mouth/throat irritation
• Change in taste of food/drinks may occur

To decrease staining of teeth and mouth surfaces:

• Chlorhexidine can cause brown staining of the teeth. This is not permanent and can largely be avoided by:
• Brushing with toothpaste 3 times daily, brushing more on the stained areas.
• Use of a 'tartar control' toothpaste and electric toothbrush may be more effective.
• See your dentist at least every 6 months for tooth cleaning/tartar removal.
• Staining from this medication that may occur on dental work (such as crowns or veneers) usually can only be removed by a dentist/hygienist.

To decrease the effect on how food tastes, eat first, followed by tooth brushing and then chlorhexidine rinse

You should carefully read all product packaging and labels prior to use.
