<p><strong>Adults:</strong>&nbsp;Thoroughly rinse the mouth for about one minute with 10 ml twice daily. In the dental&nbsp;surgery the patient should be instructed to rinse the mouth for one minute prior to treatment.&nbsp;Chlorhexidine Gluconate is incompatible with anionic agents which are usually present in conventional dentifrices.&nbsp;These should therefore be used before Chlorhexidine Gluconate (rinsing the mouth between applications) or at a&nbsp;different time of day.<br />

For the treatment of gingivitis a course of about one month is advisable although some variation&nbsp;in response is to be expected. In the case of aphthous ulceration and oral candidal infections&nbsp;treatment should be continued for 48 hours after clinical resolution. For the treatment of dental&nbsp;stomatitis the dentures should be cleansed and soaked in Chlorhexidine Gluconate mouthwash for fifteen minutes twice daily.<br />
