I recently spoke with Dr. Bob. Martino about chlorhexidine. He noted that many dental professionals are aware of the problems chlorhexidine can cause, but they don’t have the right information to make any changes. It’s intended to be used only for gingivitis and for no more than two weeks because it’s so strong. He stressed never to use it after extractions.
I asked him about Oracare, and how it’s used as a professional-level rinse. Dr. Martino explains the advantages of OraCare, and how its ingredients are much different than chlorhexidine. He also discusses some of the other indicators OraCare is used for. He’s on a mission to help his peers make the change from chlorhexidine.
