Chlorhexidine oral rinse rx prescribed to use 2x's a day following two implants. do i use it for 2 wks. when my first follow-up is? no post-op sheet.

Stop the chlorhexadi: The standard use of chlorhexadine is 1/2 oz twice a day for one week after implant placement The reason is many people find their teeth will stain from longer term use Keep the implants clean by brushing the area after any sutures are removed
