Hi Muriel, I've always used Corsodyl mouthwash since my first op but dont know if you can get it in USA. Hagg.

Hello Muriel

The Corsodyl (chlorhexidine gluconate) mouth wash is marketed as Peridex in the U.S.

If your teeth are presently in good health, you can try keeping them so. The teeth are at risk from the dry mouth caused by lack of saliva. You can find out more about this complication and how to care for your mouth and teeth at the MCF Website section on Complications.

The advice given in this previous post on oral hygiene will help you look after your teeth.

Best wishes
