A member asked:
Is it safe to use peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) after a tooth extraction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: you should wait at least 24 hours before you start rinsing your mouth, at least until the bleeding stops. Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) is definitely a great mouthwash.
