Gingivitis: It is a periodontal or gum disease with swollen and bleeding gums caused in response to bacterial biofilms (also called plaque) that is attached to tooth surfaces. If left untreated, it can lead to periodontitis and, eventually, loss of teeth. Its signs and symptoms include bleeding from gums, swollen gums, a loose tooth and sometimes foul oral smell. Fusobacterium, Lachnospiraceae, Lautropia, Prevotella oulorum, and Rothia dentocariosa are some harmful bacteria that cause dental and gum problems. 

Denture stomatitis: Denture stomatitis (also known as oral stomatitis) is a fungus (yeast) infection caused by candida. It's very normal to have some candida in your mouth.

FAQs

Hexigel Mouth Gel belongs to the class of medication called oral antiseptic and disinfectant agents used to treat mouth infections, mouth ulcers and gum disease/inflammation (gingivitis).
Hexigel Mouth Gel works by destroying the bacteria that cause gum disease, tartar, and other illnesses in the mouth. As a result, it aids in the maintenance of proper dental and oral hygiene.
Gum disease is caused by plaque build-up on the teeth. Plaque is a bacterial-infested sticky substance. Some bacteria in plaque are harmless, but others are hazardous to your gums' health. Plaque builds up on your teeth and hurts your gums if you do not brush them. This might result in redness, bleeding, oedema, and pain.
After using Hexigel Mouth Gel, avoid eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth for 30-60minutes.
Yes, Hexigel Mouth Gel may cause staining of teeth if taken for a prolonged time. However, the staining may not be permanent and might disappear after discontinuation of Hexigel Mouth Gel. To avoid staining, brush and floss your teeth every day.
Although there is very little information on the safety of Hexigel Mouth Gel during pregnancy, it's generally OK to use it; it is not considered harmful.
In some cases, Hexigel Mouth Gel may cause common side effects like irritation, unusual or unpleasant taste in your mouth, dry mouth, and tooth staining. These side effects do not require medical attention and will fade with time. However, you should seek medical attention if these side effects are persistent.
Use Hexigel Mouth Gel for 2-4 weeks only or as instructed by the healthcare professional based on a medical condition.
Yes, bad breath (Halitosis) can be reduced using Hexigel Mouth Gel. Chlorhexidine is effective at reducing bad breath (halitosis) because it is bactericidal and bacteriostatic against various kinds of bacteria.
For best results, use Hexigel Mouth Gel after you have brushed and flossed your teeth. Take the advised amount of the liquid into the mouth, swish for a minute, and spit out. Do not swallow.
Do not rinse your mouth with water immediately after using Hexigel Mouth Gel, as this will increase the bitterness. Rinsing may also decrease the effect of the Hexigel Mouth Gel.
No, most manufacturers and dentists advise spitting the rinse out after use rather than swallowing it.
Although you are meant to swish and spit mouthwash, consuming a mouthful is not harmful. If you consume a high amount, you may get alcohol and/or fluoride toxicity. In such instances, go to the nearest hospital immediately.
Read labels carefully and follow the recommendations for use, being sure not to exceed the suggested amount or frequency.
Don't eat or drink for at least 30 minutes after using Hexigel Mouth Gel. This allows the active compounds time to activate without being rinsed away.
Make sure to swish the mouthwash between your teeth and across your tongue. After swishing, thoroughly expel the mouthwash from your mouth and do not rinse with water. This allows the active substances to remain on your teeth longer.
