Corsodyl Gum Disease Treatment Dental - Gel 50g

Corsodyl Gum Disease Treatment Dental Gel 50g is an antibacterial oral gel formulated to help treat and prevent gum disease (gingivitis), inhibit plaque build-up, and promote healthier gums. It contains chlorhexidine digluconate (1% w/w), a well-established antiseptic that targets the bacteria responsible for plaque and gum irritation.

Designed for targeted application, Corsodyl Dental Gel can be used to support gum healing after dental surgery, manage recurring mouth ulcers, help with denture sore mouth and oral thrush, and maintain overall mouth hygiene. Its gel formulation makes it suitable for precision application to affected areas within the mouth.

Important: Only use Corsodyl Dental Gel for oral application. Do not swallow, and avoid contact with eyes or ears.

Standard usage guidance (UK pharmacy-aligned):

• For gum disease: Apply approximately 2 cm of gel onto a soft toothbrush or fingertip and brush/gently massage along gum margins once or twice a day for around one month.

• Mouth ulcers/oral thrush: Apply a small amount directly to affected areas once or twice daily and maintain contact for at least one minute; continue until two days after healing.

• Denture sore mouth: Lightly smear onto dentures’ fitting surfaces before insertion once or twice daily; you can combine with Corsodyl mouthwash according to professional guidance.

• After dental surgery or high-risk decay: Use as directed by your dentist or pharmacist.

Note: Wait at least 5 minutes after brushing your teeth before applying the gel, as toothpaste residues can reduce effectiveness.
