Chlorhexidine has been a trusted treatment for gum inflammation and tooth decay in
the dental industry for over 50 years. Studies in the 1970s confirmed its effectiveness
in preventing plaque formation and reducing gum irritation.
Chlorofluor Gel, Mouth Rinse, and Toothpaste contain both chlorhexidine and a small amount of fluoride, which enhances the binding to tooth surfaces, improving its effectiveness in reducing plaque and gum inflammation.
Uses for Chlorofluor:
Antibacterial action: Chlorhexidine effectively disrupts the formation of plaque—a sticky bacterial film that clings to teeth and leads to tooth decay and gum inflammation. By curbing bacterial growth, Chlorofluor tackles oral health issues at their source. Plaque tends to accumulate around the gum line, producing toxic enzymes that irritate and inflame the gums. Brushing with standard toothpaste during this stage can worsen irritation, and some individuals stop brushing altogether, thinking it will ease inflammation, but this only exacerbates the issue.
Using Chlorofluor Toothpaste or Gel instead of regular toothpaste removes plaque and kills the bacteria responsible for producing these harmful enzymes. This leads to a rapid reduction in inflammation, allowing the gums to heal and return to a healthy pink state.
Gum disease prevention: Chlorhexidine has been proven to reduce inflammation, promote gum health, and prevent the progression of gum disease, such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
Cavity protection: Chlorhexidine’s antimicrobial properties target bacteria responsible for tooth decay, especially beneficial for older individuals with reduced saliva flow.
Reduced sensitivity: Gum recession and teeth whitening can cause sensitivity. Chlorofluor coats tooth surfaces with a thin layer of chlorhexidine, reducing pain from heat, cold, and acidity.
Hormonal fluctuations and chemotherapy: Conditions such as pregnancy, menstruation, menopause and chemotherapy can make gums more prone to inflammation. Chlorofluor aids in defending against bacteria, helping the body heal irritated gums.
Mouth ulcers: Chlorofluor neutralises bacteria, viruses, and fungi, reducing pain and inflammation from mouth ulcers caused by autoimmune reactions or breaches in the mucous membrane. Twice daily rinsing with Chlorofluor Mouth Rinse helps alleviate these symptoms.
Braces and orthodontic appliances: Chlorofluor is ideal for cleaning dentures and orthodontic appliances, reaching difficult areas and ensuring thorough cleaning.
Peri-implantitis protection: Peri-implantitis, which involves inflammation around dental
implants, can be alleviated with Chlorofluor, reducing bacterial growth and protecting the implant site.
Implant maintenance: Regular use of Chlorofluor helps reduce bacterial build-up around implants, promoting their longevity and success.
Persistent bad breath: Chlorofluor Gel or Toothpaste reduces halitosis by controlling plaque build-up, a common cause of bad breath.
Long-lasting effects: Chlorofluor offers prolonged protection, especially beneficial for individuals who find it challenging to maintain a consistent oral care routine.
Need to know:
When using Chlorofluor, it is important to spit but not rinse for at least five minutes after use to ensure the product works effectively.
Prolonged use of Chlorofluor Mouth Rinse for more than two weeks may cause superficial staining at the gum line where plaque builds up. This staining disappears once treatment stops. Chlorofluor Gel is less likely to cause staining, and Chlorofluor Toothpaste, due to its abrasiveness, is highly unlikely to stain.
Extended use of Chlorofluor products should be done under a dentist’s supervision.
Chlorofluor is not recommended for children under 6 years (if they cannot effectively spit) or daily for children under 12 if using the toothpaste.
Avoid using Chlorofluor if allergic to any ingredients.
