HELLO,
CHLOROHEXEDINE GLUCONATE RINSES SUCH AS "PERIDEX" ARE AVAILABLE ONLY WITH A PRESCRIPTION IN THE USA.
u can get it over the counter, but dont use it for more than 2 weeks..
Listerine "Advanced" also contains a strong anti-bacterial ingredient (Zinc Chloride)
Listerine Pre-Brush Rinse (Hydrogen peroxide and alcohol) removes saliva so that Listerine "Advanced" can kill bacteria.
Minute Maid lemonaid will do nearly the same thing as hydrogen peroxide, but lemonaid will cause pain if you have an open sore. (Lemon juice has citric acid.)
The use of trace amounts of zinc chloride was approved by the FDA not too many years ago. Zinc chloride has been used for decades in the farming industry to kill fungus and bacteria. It is also used to stop rot in wood along with killing termites.
