What is it prescribed for?
Gingivitis
Gingivitis, also known as gum inflammation, is the swelling of your gingiva (the part of your gum around the base of your teeth). It commonly occurs due to poor oral hygiene, resulting in the formation of dental plaques (sticky, colourless film of bacteria that forms on your teeth). Symptoms may include swollen, puffy gums that are tender and/or bleed easily. Rexidin Plus Mouth Rinse is used in the prevention and treatment of gingivitis.
Mouth ulcers
Mouth ulcers are painful sores that occur on the inner lining of your lips, gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth. Rexidin Plus Mouth Rinse is used in the prevention and treatment of mouth ulcers.
Oral thrush
Oral thrush, also known as oral candidiasis, is a fungal infection that develops inside your mouth. Symptoms may include creamy white lesions that may occur on your tongue, inner cheeks, the roof of your mouth, gums, tonsils, or the back of your throat. Rexidin Plus Mouth Rinse is used in the prevention and treatment of oral thrush.
Oral hygiene
Rexidin Plus Mouth Rinse helps in maintaining dental hygiene and prevents the formation of dental plaque, denture stomatitis (redness, swelling and tenderness associated with wearing dentures, which are the removable replacements for missing teeth).
