Mechanism of Action

New Orogard Fresh Mint contains three active ingredients: Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Sodium Fluoride, and Triclosan. Each of these ingredients works in different ways to promote oral health:

• Chlorhexidine Gluconate: It is an antiseptic that helps to kill bacteria in your mouth. By reducing the number of bacteria, it helps to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
• Sodium Fluoride: It helps to strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars in the mouth. This can help prevent cavities.
• Triclosan: It has antibacterial properties and helps to reduce the accumulation of plaque on teeth and gums.

Side Effects

While using New Orogard Fresh Mint, some individuals may experience common side effects, including:

• Temporary discoloration of the teeth, tongue, or dental restorations (such as fillings or crowns)
• Taste disturbances

If you experience any serious side effects or allergic reactions such as severe mouth or throat irritation, swelling, or difficulty breathing, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.
