Mouth infection
Whenever there is an overgrowth of microorganisms in our mouth, that are otherwise normally present, it can lead to unpleasant symptoms of mouth infection like ulcers, bad breath, swollen gums, unpleasant taste changes, sensitivity of teeth to hot or cold food/liquid etc. Orowash kills and prevents growth of these microorganisms, thereby relieving these symptoms. It also makes teeth stronger and prevents dental cavities. This medicine helps restore your self confidence and makes you feel better. Practice good oral hygeine like brushing twice daily and rinsing with antiseptic mouth wash 2-3 times in a day to avoid mouth infections in future.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Orowash is a combination of three medicines: Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Sodium Fluoride and Zinc Chloride. Chlorhexidine Gluconate 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 antiseptic and astringent action.
