• How Should I Brush My Teeth When Using Corsodyl Treatment CORSODYL TREATMENT PRODUCT RANGE FAQS How should I brush my teeth when using Corsodyl Treatment Mouthwash? Brushing your teeth immediately after using Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwashes may prevent the mouthwash from working properly. To avoid this, use Corsodyl Treatment Mouthwash at a different time of day, or brush your teeth first, then rinse thoroughly with water and wait five minutes before rinsing with Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwashes. The efficacy of Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwashes and Gel can be affected by SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate). This substance is often included in toothpaste so you should choose an SLS-free toothpaste, like Corsodyl Toothpaste. Can I use Corsodyl Treatment products on a daily basis? Corsodyl Treatment products should be used as directed on the label/leaflet or by your dentist. For daily treatment to help prevent bleeding gums you can use Corsodyl Toothpaste and Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash. Can I use the Corsodyl Treatment products in children? All products should always be used as directed on the product label/leaflet. Corsodyl products are not for use in children under 12 years old, unless recommended by a dentist. Please contact your dentist for further advice. How long should I use Corsodyl Treatment products for? The recommended duration of treatment for gingivitis is approximately one month. Please see pack for details. If symptoms persist, or if you are concerned about your gum health, please consult your dentist. How long does the treatment mouthwash last when I have opened it? All Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwashes can be used for up to three months after opening. Please check the packaging for the expiry date and do not use after this date. Does the Corsodyl Treatment range contain any alcohol? Some products within our treatment range contain alcohol. Please read the product label/leaflet for full information. What product should I use to help treat my gum problems? The Corsodyl Treatment product range contains two 0.2% w/v mouthwashes and 1% w/w dental gel formulated with the antimicrobial ingredient chlorhexidine digluconate to help treat the first stage of gum disease, called gingivitis. Please consult your dentist on which product is best for you. Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash FAQs Is the use of a mouthwash enough for oral hygiene? No. Good oral hygiene is based on twice daily, thorough tooth brushing, plus regular check ups with a dentist and professional cleaning by a dentist or hygienist. Using a daily mouthwash like Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash can help to support this routine, but never replace it. If you have persistent, worsening or serious gum problems, such as red, swollen or bleeding gums, these are the symptoms of gum disease. You may need intensive care to help repair the damage and reduce the amount of plaque bacteria in your mouth. Your dentist may recommend that you use a product from the Corsodyl Treatment range (0.2% w/v Mouthwash or 1% w/w Dental Gel) as a short term, temporary treatment in addition to your normal oral hygiene routine, to keep your mouth clean and help gums return to health. Do all mouthwashes treat gum disease? Not all mouthwashes treat gum disease, some are designed to freshen breath or provide cavity protection. Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash is formulated to help protect against gum problems, help remove plaque bacteria and prevent further build up when used twice daily and in combination with tooth brushing. Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwash is clinically proven to treat the first stage of gum disease, called gingivitis. Please read the product label/leaflet and use as directed.

Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash may cause staining of the teeth and the tongue. This can be removed by twice daily brushing with Corsodyl Toothpaste, or by your hygienist or dentist. You can avoid staining by not drinking tea, coffee or red wine, particularly within one hour of use. Does Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash contain any alcohol? No, Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash does not contain alcoho Can I use Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash after brushing with Corsodyl Toothpaste?

  • I Used to Smoke Menthol Cigarettes. There Was Something About The
    In response to the scent of the soap I used to smoke menthol cigarettes. There was something about the Alice Hattrick combination of smoke, produced by fire, and menthol, a chemical in every kind of mint that tricks your brain into thinking it’s tasting something cold, that was so appealing. Alcohol is still the active ingredient in mouthwash but it is nearly always flavoured mint. Listerine was developed by the doctors who founded Johnson & Johnson after Jospeh Lister became the first person to conduct a surgical procedure in sterilised conditions. In the 16th century, a number of herbs were used to clean the mouth and teeth, mint but also sage and rosemary in vinegar, alongside practical solutions like wine, which replaced urine (containing ammonia) as a popular disinfectant. In the 20th century, mint became the predominant flavour of mouthwash and toothpaste because it was widely available and made the mouth cool, counteracting the fiery sensation of astringent products. When menthol binds with a particular receptor in our brains – TRPM8 – it has the same effect as exposing it to cool temperatures. It’s the menthol that makes it feel like it’s working. There aren’t many perfumes that smell predominantly of mint, but they do exist. Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca by Guerlain (1999) smells uber clean, like actual hygiene: mint gum, and then lemon and grass as the mint fades like a… mint? Apparently, Jean-Paul Guerlain wanted to evoke the memory of playing barefoot in the grass as a child, crushing mint leaves underfoot, which is probably why this smells like the kind of green you imagine, but have never actually experienced.

  • DENTAL EROSION Dental Erosion, Also Known As Erosive Tooth Wear, Is Caused by Acid Contacting and Dissolving the Tooth Surface
    Caring for your teeth OCTOBER 2018 DENTAL EROSION Dental erosion, also known as erosive tooth wear, is caused by acid contacting and dissolving the tooth surface. This creates thinning of the enamel which can weaken the tooth and make it sensitive. As the outer protective layer of enamel dissolves from the tooth surface, the dentine underneath is exposed which can make the tooth sensitive. The dentine is softer than enamel and dissolves much easier in acid. Preventing dental erosion is very important for protecting our teeth. Where does the acid come from? What else can increase dental The acid that causes erosion mainly comes from food or erosion? drink. Common sources of dietary acids that have been As well as frequent exposure to acid, low salivary flow (dry linked to dental erosion are: mouth) can increase the risk of dental erosion. A healthy flow • Soft drinks of saliva protects the teeth by washing away and neutralising • Energy drinks acid. Dry mouth can be caused by: • Sports drinks • Medications and taking multiple medications together • Vinegar • Radiotherapy to the head/neck • Citrus fruits • Stress • Fruit juices • Sjogren’s syndrome (an auto-immune disease) • Fruit-flavoured water • Smoking • Fruit-flavoured tea (e.g. lemon, peach, rosehip) • Diabetes • Cordial • Alcoholic drinks • Sour (acidic) sweets/lollies • Chewable Vitamin C tablets • Effervescent or dissolvable vitamins/medications Remember, even sugar-free food or drink can cause dental erosion if it’s high in acid. Common acidic food additives to be aware of are: • Citric acid (food acid acidity regulator/antioxidant 330) • Sodium citrate (food acid/acidity regulator/antioxidant 331) • Malic acid (food acid/preservative 296) • Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C/antioxidant 300) • Fruit juice concentrate.

Margonda Raya, Pondok Cina, Depok, Jawa Barat, Indonesia 16424 *[email protected] ABSTRACT Increased blood urea or uremic levels often experienced by patients with Chronic Renal Failure can lead to decreased salivary secretion and xerostomia. Xerostomia is a common symptom of difficulty in chewing, swallowing, decreased taste, speaking, increased oral mucosal lesions, and limited tolerance of dentures. This problem will have an impact on increasing thirst sensations that affect the patient to increase fluid intake that leads to an increase Interdialytic Weight Gain and lead to decreased Quality of Life patients. The aim of this research was to know the effect of chewing gum xylitol and mouthwash on xerostomia in chronic renal failure patients. The design was quasi experiment involving 30 respondents selected by consecutive sampling technique and divided into two groups. Xerostomia measured four times in each session of hemodialysis. The results of study showed there was no differences in the four xerostomia measurements in both intervention groups with p-value> 0.05. However, it is seen from the patient's development chart that the xylitol gum intervention reduced xerostomia faster than the mouthwash intervention. The conclusion of this research was xylitol chewing gum and mouthwash had same effect to reduce xerostomia in patients with chronic renal failure.
