What Are The Side Effects For Using Corsodyl?

Recently I went to a dentist and was told I have gingivitis. The dentist said to use corsodyl and tht I will be referred yo a hygienist. I don't see the dentist again till the 27th and I've been brushing and using corsodyl twice daily. The thing is, my gums are now feeling really sore and everyday I'm worrying about my gums. When I look at my gums, they look okay, but the soreness is now becoming a huge worry for me. I'm constantly worrying that My gums will recede despite the fact I'm cleaning my mouth regularly. I won't be referred to a hygienist until my wisdom teeth are out and I've had a filling done, by which time I fear it will be to late.

Thanks for using health care Magic.

Read your query.

I would advice you to stop using the Corsodyl,if the soreness is increased as it a more common side effect. Or you can use a more diluted form of the corsodyl.

*Get your teeth cleaned first and then you can reuse it for a few days as prolonged continuous use of mouth wash is not recommended.

* Use salt water gargles.

Relax and get the treatment done.

Thanks and regards.
