Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic and disinfectant that is commonly used in dentistry to help prevent and treat gum disease. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including those that cause plaque and gingivitis. Chlorhexidine can be applied to the gums in a variety of ways, including mouthwash, gel, or chips that are placed in the periodontal pockets. In some cases, your dentist may also prescribe chlorhexidine to be taken orally. Chlorhexidine is an effective way to improve oral hygiene and prevent gum disease. It can help to reduce plaque and bacteria, and it can also help to heal inflamed gums. Chlorhexidine is generally safe and well-tolerated, but it can cause some side effects, such as staining of the teeth or a bitter taste in the mouth. If you are experiencing any side effects from chlorhexidine, talk to your dentist.

When you change dentists, it is important to ask if you can have your X-rays transferred to your new dentist. X-rays are an important part of your dental records and can help your new dentist diagnose and treat any problems you may have. X-rays can show cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems. They can also be used to track the progress of your dental treatment. There are several benefits to having your X-rays transferred to your new dentist. First, it will save you time and money. You will not have to pay for new X-rays, and your new dentist will not have to spend time taking them. Second, it will ensure that your new dentist has a complete picture of your oral health history. This will help them provide you with the best possible care.
