Chlorhexidine Gluconate Oral Rinse is indicated for dental use as part of a professional program for the treatment of gingivitis characterized by redness and swelling of the gingiva. The rinse is not recommended for use by persons with hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine gluconate or other formula ingredients. The rinsing can cause staining of oral surfaces such as tooth surfaces, restorations, and the dorsum of the tongue. It is advisable to remove calculus deposits before using the rinse. The presence or absence of gingival inflammation following treatment with chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse should not be used as a major indicator of underlying periodontitis. Staining resulting from the use of chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse does not adversely affect the health of the oral tissues. It can be removed from most tooth surfaces by conventional professional prophylactic techniques. However, discretion should be exercised when using it around areas of restored teeth. In rare occasions, it may necessitate replacement of these restorations.*
