Good oral hygiene is based on twice daily, thorough tooth brushing, plus regular check ups with a dentist and professional cleaning by a dentist or hygienist. Using a daily mouthwash like Corsodyl Daily can help to support this routine, but never replace it.
If you have persistent, worsening or serious gum problems, such as red, swollen or bleeding gums, these are the symptoms of gum disease. You may need intensive care to help repair the damage and reduce the amount of plaque bacteria in your mouth. Your dentist may recommend that you use Corsodyl intensive treatment as a short term, temporary treatment in addition to your normal oral hygiene routine, to keep your mouth clean and help gums heal.

Brushing your teeth immediately after using Corsodyl treatment mouthwashes may prevent the mouthwash from working properly. To avoid this, use Corsodyl at a different time of day, or brush your teeth first, then rinse thoroughly with water and wait five minutes before rinsing with Corsodyl mouthwash.
Corsodyl Medicated Mouthwash is a short-term intensive treatment for persistent gum problems. Corsodyl treatment mouthwash may cause temporary staining of the teeth. This can normally be removed by brushing. You can reduce the risk of staining by avoiding eating or drinking dark coloured food and drinks such as tea, coffee or red wine — especially up to one hour after using of the mouthwash and by twice daily brushing with toothpaste.
If staining continues, it can be removed with a scale and polish from your dentist or hygienist. Corsodyl may also cause discoloration of the tongue, but this is not permanent and disappears after treatment is stopped.

Corsodyl toothpaste not the mouthwash is also known and sold under the brand name parodontax in many other countries, such as Germany, Italy, France and Romania.
Actually it just masks the problem, as mild gum disease, known as gingivitis, is caused by poor oral hygiene. Patients need to improve on brushing and flossing their teeth regularly. Parmar adds that Corsodyl can stain your teeth brown after regular use, which might lead some people to brush harder and damage their gums. Corsodyl does warn of a possible staining side-effect on its label and on its website. But a spokesperson from GSK says: "The intention of the Corsodyl TV advertisement is to highlight how important it is not to ignore the early signs of gum disease.
We aim to encourage consumers to re-appraise their oral care habits and treat their gum disease before tooth loss can become a reality. Scare ads are nothing new, according to marketing professor Isabelle Szmigin from the University of Birmingham. TV ads from the s onwards sold products like deodorants and mouthwash to young adults by pointing out the social repercussions if they didn't use them.
Later public health campaign ads increased the fear factor when addressing topics like Aids or drink driving. However, Szmigin says public health campaigns arguably had a good reason for creating a strong message. That doesn't apply to all brands. They are using a fear response to get straight to changing a consumer's behaviour. It's quite a basic, functional message saying 'use this if you don't want that.
It is the biggest marketing investment for the brand to date, according to The Grocer magazine. The ads are due to run until July this year. Shock tactics have worked well for GSK in the past. It kills the micro-organisms associated with various mouth and throat infections, and other common conditions in the mouth. This includes the Candida albicans fungi that cause thrush infection in the mouth, and bacteria that may infect mouth ulcers or other sore areas in the mouth, for example following dental surgery.
Infection of these areas increases discomfort and delays healing. Chlorhexidine has also been shown to prevent the formation and build-up of plaque on teeth, which helps prevent inflammation of the gums gingivitis.
Using the mouthwash is particularly useful when toothbrushing is a problem, for example following dental surgery. Spit the mouthwash out after use. The mouthwash should be spat out, not swallowed, although accidental swallowing is unlikely to cause harm. For this reason, after using toothpaste to brush your teeth, you should rinse your mouth with water and wait five minutes before you use this mouthwash.
Or use the mouthwash at a different time of day to when you brush your teeth. This will ensure any remaining micro-organisms are killed and thus help avoid the condition coming back. This is not permanent and can be reduced by brushing the teeth with toothpaste or in the case of dentures, using a conventional denture cleaner.
Avoiding drinking tea, coffee or red wine, especially in the hour after using the mouthwash, can also help prevent staining. Where normal brushing is not possible, or if any staining remains, your teeth may need scaling and polishing by your dentist after you've finished using the mouthwash. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with Corsodyl mouthwash.
Listerine showed less inhibitory effect on planktonic S mutans than did Corsodyl. Subsequently, Listerine showed a stronger bactericidal effect on bacteria biofilm than did Corsodyl. Types of Tooth Discoloration Stains It occurs when stain particles, such as pigmented residue from food or drink, build-up in the film of protein that covers the tooth enamel. Extrinsic tooth stains are typically caused by tobacco use or by regularly drinking coffee and tea, wine or cola drinks.
Tooth decay If plaque isn't brushed off teeth regularly, the acid breaks down tooth enamel. This results in brown stains and cavities. Tooth decay can range in severity. When left untreated, it's a common cause of brown spots on teeth. Prevention Brush the teeth with a fluoride toothpaste for 2 minutes twice daily. Floss once a day.
Rinse the mouth with water or brush the teeth after eating, especially when meals have contained high amounts of sugar, chromogens, or tannins. Use a fluoride-based mouthwash daily. No other mouthwash works the same way. Dentyl Active is an alcohol-free water and oil based formula and is therefore kind to your teeth and gums. It does not contain chlorhexidine which is known to stain teeth. It is recommended to wait for an hour after using any mouthwash before consuming any coloured food or drink.
Chlorhexidine mouthwash causes brown staining on the surface of teeth if used for 4 weeks or longer. This is a type of staining that comes off after scaling and polishing by a dental professional. Generally speaking it is advisable not to rinse your mouth with water after using mouthwash. The reason is that many mouthwashes include fluoride which can be washed away during rinsing. Instead, simply spit out the excess mouthwash and leave the fluoride to do its work.
