Staining due to rexidin mouthwash

2020-02-13 02:49:22
I visited a dentist around 2 weeks back. He said I had bleeding gums problem and gave me rexidin mouthwash and said to dilute it and use. I noticed brown stains on my teeth a couple of days back. Is this caused by the mouthwash and what should I do to remove the stains now? Please help.

Hi,the stains may be present already,if you have bleeding gums,the cause is accumulation of tartar,so get a thorough scaling and curettage done.

Rexidine usually doesn't cause any stains. You can visit dentist for ultrasonic scaling to remove stains.
