Chlorhexidine is a prescription strength mouthrinse that kills the bacteria in your mouth that cause gum disease, also known as gingivitis.
Dr. Shawn and our hygienist prescribe chlorhexidine to treat inflammation and bleeding gums. The hygienist may also perscribe it before a deep cleaning to prep the mouth and get rid of some of the lingering bacteria.
