Dentaclean Mouth Wash

Introduction

Dentaclean is a medicated mouthwash that contains Hydrogen Peroxide as its active ingredient. It is commonly used to promote oral hygiene and maintain a healthy mouth.

Uses

Dentaclean is primarily prescribed to help prevent and treat various oral conditions, including:

• Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums)
• Periodontitis (gum disease)
• Oral ulcers
• Dental plaque buildup

It can also be used as an adjunctive therapy for post-surgical oral care.

Dosage and Administration

To use Dentaclean, follow these general dosage instructions and methods of administration:

• Shake the bottle well before each use.
• Pour approximately 10 to 15 milliliters (about one tablespoon) of the mouthwash into a cup.
• Rinse your mouth thoroughly with the solution for about 30 seconds.
• Spit out the mouthwash after rinsing, and avoid swallowing the solution.
• Use Dentaclean two to three times a day, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Please note that the specific dosage and administration instructions may vary depending on your individual condition. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

Dentaclean works by releasing oxygen when it comes into contact with oral tissues. This release of oxygen helps to create an inhospitable environment for harmful bacteria in the mouth, reducing their growth and preventing infection. It also has mild antiseptic properties, which further aid in maintaining oral hygiene.

Side Effects

While using Dentaclean, you may experience some common side effects, which may include:

• Temporary discoloration of teeth or tongue
• Mild irritation or burning sensation in the mouth
• Dryness or soreness of the oral tissues

These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any serious side effects, such as severe irritation, swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Dentaclean may interact with certain medications. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products. Some known drug interactions include:

• Agents that contain chlorine dioxide or stannous fluoride
• Chlorhexidine mouthwashes
• Other oral antiseptics or disinfectants

To ensure your safety, always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding potential drug interactions.
