Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use chlorhexidine mouthwash?
Chlorhexidine Mouthwash – like any mouthwash – should not be used immediately after brushing your teeth; this can remove the fluoride from your toothpaste. Instead, you can use Chlorhexidine Mouthwash after meals, no more than twice a day. If you have to use Chlorhexidine Mouthwash just after brushing, rinse your mouth with water first.
What should I do if I swallow chlorhexidine mouthwash?
It is unlikely that swallowing a little Chlorhexidine Mouthwash is going to harm you, although you may feel a little nauseated. A large quantity, however, can be harmful, and if you swallow this much, you must go to your nearest A & E department immediately or speak to your doctor if this is not possible.
Can I drink alcohol while using chlorhexidine mouthwash?
Drinking alcohol is unlikely to interact with Chlorhexidine Mouthwash. However, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol can worsen gum disease and other oral health conditions. You should avoid drinking more than 14 units of alcohol per week, as per the government’s guidelines.
Some alcoholic drinks, such as red wine, can stain teeth and should be avoided for at least 1 hour after using Chlorhexidine Mouthwash.
Will chlorhexidine mouthwash impact my ability to drive or operate machinery?
It is unlikely that Chlorhexidine Mouthwash will affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. If you experience any side effects which might hinder your cognitive ability, such as dizziness, tiredness or visual disturbances, refrain from engaging in such activities until you feel that it is safe to do so.
Is chlorhexidine mouthwash alcohol-free?
Chlorhexidine Mouthwash contains 7% alcohol. However, as you do not ingest it, it is unlikely that the alcohol will affect you.
Does chlorhexidine mouthwash kill thrush?
Studies have shown that Chlorhexidine Mouthwash may prevent and treat oral thrush. However, if you are suffering from oral thrush, it is always best to seek medical advice from your doctor.
