Medicinal Benefits

Orahex DG Sugar Free Spearmint Oral Rinse contains Chlorhexidine, sodium fluoride and zinc chloride. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic. It works by binding to the surface of teeth, inner cheeks, and gums. This kills the infectious microorganisms that cause gum disease, ulcers, and other mouth infections. Sodium Fluoride works by making the teeth stronger and preventing decay (cavity) caused by bacteria. Zinc Chloride has an antiseptic (prevents the growth of microorganisms), and astringent action (tightening of soft organic tissues). It is used in the treatment of gingivitis, oral mucositis and mouth odour.
