Working of Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Sodium Fluoride, and Zinc Chloride Mouthwash
Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Sodium Fluoride, and Zinc Chloride mouthwash works by combining antibacterial, remineralizing, and anti-plaque actions to promote complete oral hygiene. Chlorhexidine Gluconate reduces harmful oral bacteria and controls plaque formation, Sodium Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and protects against cavities, while Zinc Chloride helps tighten gums, reduce bad breath, and control tartar buildup—resulting in fresher breath, stronger teeth, and healthier gums.
Uses of KIVODENT F Mouthwash
KIVODENT F is used in the treatment and prevention of conditions such as:
- Gingivitis: The gums become swollen, red, and bleed.
- Dental Caries: Tooth decay and cavity formation are prevented.
- Halitosis: Persistent bad-smelling breath is treated.
- Dental Plaque: The film of bacteria over the teeth accumulates less.
- Oral Hygiene Maintenance: After dental procedures, gum surgeries, or during orthodontic treatment (braces), especially.
Benefits of Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Sodium Fluoride, and Zinc Chloride Mouthwash
KIVODENT F Mouthwash employs the synergistic action of three principal components for oral health care:
- Chlorhexidine Gluconate: This powerful antiseptic and disinfectant. Its mode of action is through strong binding to enamel and mucous membranes. It kills off the harmful bacteria and fungi by breaking down their cell walls and thus preventing their multiplication and infection formation. This mechanism greatly lowers the amount of plaque and inflammation of the gums.
- Sodium Fluoride: This is a tooth-strengthening mineral. Its working process is that it gets absorbed into the dental enamel (the tooth’s outermost hard layer), thereby increasing its resistance to the acid produced by bacteria and the attack from sugars. This mineral absorption process, called remineralisation, not only restores the initial stage of decay but also prevents cavities.
- Zinc Chloride: Zinc Chloride, being an astringent and deodoriser, helps to compress and tighten the soft parts, which in turn reduces the swelling of the gums. In addition, it neutralises the sulfur compounds that are the main cause of bad breath, thus giving a fresh feeling to the mouth.
