Targeted Relief for Various Oral Health Concerns

This versatile dental gel acts as a short-course medicated treatment, providing aid for several specific oral issues:

• Gum Disease Symptoms: Helps manage early signs like bleeding gums and irritation by significantly reducing the bacteria that cause dental plaque.
• Mouth Ulcers: Supports the healing of recurring mouth ulcers by keeping the affected area clean and reducing discomfort.
• Denture Sore Mouth: Ideal for managing soreness and inflammation that can occur under dentures, enhancing overall oral comfort.
• Post-Dental Surgery Care: Promotes gum healing and helps maintain hygiene after dental procedures or treatments, as advised by your dentist.
• Oral Thrush: Assists as an aid in managing recurring oral thrush, contributing to improved oral comfort and health.

Using Corsodyl Dental Gel 50g as directed forms an important part of a targeted oral hygiene routine, especially when dealing with specific gum or mouth issues. Its concentrated gel formula allows for precise application, ensuring the antibacterial properties of Chlorhexidine Digluconate reach the affected areas directly. Remember, if your symptoms persist, it's always best to consult your dentist or pharmacist for further advice.

Corsodyl Dental Gel can have side effects, but not everybody gets them.

• Stop using the gel and seek immediate medical help if you get a rash, swelling of the lips, tongue, throat or face or have difficulty breathing. These effects may be symptoms of a severe allergic reaction which is very rare.
• Stop using the gel and tell your dentist if you get irritation, soreness or swelling of the mouth.

Other side effects that may occur:

• Temporary staining of the tongue: This disappears when treatment is stopped.
• Temporary staining of the teeth: This can normally be removed by brushing. You can avoid staining by not drinking tea, coffee or red wine - especially one hour after use, and by brushing daily with toothpaste. If staining continues it can be removed with a scale & polish from your dentist or hygienist. You can clean your dentures with denture cleaner.
• You may notice a change in taste, burning sensation, tingling, or numbness of the mouth when you first use the gel. This usually goes away with continued use.

If you do get any side effects, even those not mentioned above, tell your doctor, dentist or pharmacist.
