Curaprox Perio Plus - 0.2%

Curaprox Perio Plus is a mouthwash solution containing 0.20% Chlorhexidine (Chx) as an active ingredient. It is designed to provide effective plaque control and gingivitis prevention, especially for people with severe periodontal problems.
Chlorhexidine is well-evidenced as an antiseptic that kills bacteria and other microorganisms in the mouth. The 0.20% concentration of Chlorhexidine in this mouthwash is considered vital and is recommended for short-term use for ten days only.

This also contains other active ingredients, such as cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), which helps to reduce plaque formation and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth. It also contains xylitol, a natural sweetener that helps to promote oral health by reducing the risk of tooth decay.

Indication for 2-3 weeks maximum at a time.

1. For use between an active periodontal deep cleaning protocol
2. After an implant or a periodontal surgery
3. After extractions

I do not recommend chlorhexidine-containing mouthwash for regular daily use, even with a lower concentration, apparently called the 'daily' version. These mouthwashes are brilliant and stay so well adhered to the gums and are long-lasting, but also to the teeth , and thus hold any colour that comes its way like tea/coffee/smoking / red wise / curries and the like. Another reason why I'm not too fond of chlorhexidine products on a daily basis ( Perio plus daily / Corsodyl daily )is that it masks gum disease like smoking does by reducing the bleeding , and it also can alter your taste sensation if used for a long time.
