Wrong treatment: Chlorhexidine rinse should never be prescribed as a treatment modality of gum disease. It is prescribed for post surgical or short term relief of inability to perform normal oral hygiene effort (after surgery). It is usually used short term (2-4 weeks) due to various side effect long term. Gum disease can be cured or controlled easy without the need of Chlorhexidine as the treatment regimen.
