The Intermed Chlorhexil 0.12% Toothpaste Long Use is a fluoride toothpaste in a 100ml tube containing chlorhexidine at a concentration of 0.12% and fluoride 0.10%. The composition is complemented by sodium hyaluronate and xylitol. The formula does not contain SLS or abrasive agents, while the manufacturer has added a special agent that limits the adhesion of pigments to the teeth, a known issue with all chlorhexidine products.
It is a toothpaste used for a specific period, usually when the dentist has recommended a chlorhexidine program. The manufacturer describes it as complementary to its Chlorhexil mouthwash or another chlorhexidine solution, so that brushing and rinsing move in the same direction.
Microbial plaque is a thin, sticky layer that forms continuously on the teeth and along the gum line. Daily brushing mechanically removes it, but in some periods, for example after dental procedures, the dentist may want an additional antiseptic agent. That's where chlorhexidine comes in, which binds to the surfaces of the mouth and remains active for hours after application.
The 0.12% concentration is the milder of the two toothpastes in the Chlorhexil Long Use range, as there is also a 0.20% version. Even so, the manufacturer sets a maximum usage duration of one month, because chlorhexidine is not intended for indefinite daily use.
The absence of SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) has practical significance: SLS is an anionic surfactant that can reduce the action of chlorhexidine, and some people find it irritating to the mucosa.
For adults who follow a chlorhexidine program on the recommendation of a dentist, for those who already have Chlorhexil mouthwash and want a toothpaste in the same vein, and for those who need a toothpaste without SLS for a period of time. The manufacturer also states that it is suitable for those who follow homeopathic treatment.
Place a quantity of toothpaste on the toothbrush and brush in the morning, evening and after each meal. Maximum duration of use: up to 1 month.
Packaging: 100ml tube.
After the month of use, return to a classic fluoride toothpaste unless your dentist suggests something different. Keep out of reach of children.
The manufacturer sets a maximum duration of use of one month. For longer periods, consultation with the dentist is needed.
Pigments are a known side effect of chlorhexidine, so the composition contains an agent that limits their adhesion. Coffee, tea and red wine can intensify the effect. If they appear, they are usually removed with professional cleaning.
Yes, the manufacturer recommends it in combination with Chlorhexil Mouthwash or another chlorhexidine solution.
The difference is the concentration of chlorhexidine. The 0.12% is a milder option, while the 0.20% is stronger. The dentist decides which one suits you best.
No. It is SLS-free and free of abrasive agents.
The manufacturer's page does not include instructions for pediatric use, so ask the pediatric dentist before using any chlorhexidine product.
