To prevent gum disease and periodontitis, it is important that customers know how to minimise the amount of plaque that builds up on their teeth. The best way to do this is to always practise good oral hygiene €“ brushing teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, using a fluoride-based mouthwash and flossing daily. Antiseptic products such as those containing chlorhexidine (e.g. Care Chlorhexidine Gluconate Mouthwash, Corsodyl Mouthwash, Gel and Spray, Oraldene Mouthwash) may be recommended to help treat and prevent gingivitis.
