As many as 90% of the population suffer from gum disease in some form at some point in their life. The Corsodyl range includes a specially formulated medicated mouthwash that can be used as an aid to help treat and prevent gingivitis, or gum disease. Corsodyl has a dual action approach: Its antibacterial ingredient attacks and helps to kill the plaque bacteria that are causing your gums irritation. It creates a protective layer over your teeth and gums for up to 12 hours, thus helping to prevent any new plaque from forming. Corsodyl can be used at all stages of gingivitis. Alongside flossing and brushing, a short 5-7 day course of Corsodyl can help kick-start your recovery from the early signs of gingivitis.
