When do I need to use a mouthwash?
If you had to undergo a dental intervention, have an open wound in your mouth, or suffer from a gum disease such as gingivitis or periodontitis, use a medicated mouthwash, e.g. Perio plus and follow the instructions of your dental specialist.
A medicated mouthwash has antibacterial or antiseptic properties that reliably remove bacterial plaque from teeth, gums and tongue. It often contains chlorhexidine (CHX) which ensures that the mouthwash isn’t only effective against bacteria, but also against fungal diseases of the oral mucosa. Medicated mouthwashes accelerate regeneration and healing of the tissue in your mouth.
Should I rinse before or after brushing teeth?
Rinse after brushing. A mouthwash is most effective when used as the second step of your oral hygiene routine. We recommend practising both brushing and rinsing—at least twice a day.
What does Citrox® do in oral care?
Citrox® is great and comes direct from nature. More precisely: it’s a complex of 9 natural bioflavonoids, extracted primarily from bitter oranges. It is a tasteful combination of bioflavonoids to combat harmful bacteria and reinforces the properties of chlorhexidine (CHX). So, it is a perfect CHX partner in mouthwash Perio plus, as they fight harmful bacteria together.
Is there a version without chlorhexidine or CHX?
Yes, there is. Perio plus zero comes without chlorhexidine but with the entire power of a bacteria fighter. What makes it so special: this next generation formula respects the oral microbiome and only targets the bad guys to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Can I use Perio plus every day?
Perio plus and other CHX products are intended for specific oral care situations and should only be used according to the recommendations of your dental professional. For everyday oral care, a toothbrush and interdental brushes are usually all you need.
