How does Decapinol work?
Decapinol has a novel mode of action. It works at the interface between dental plaque bacteria and the surface of the teeth and gums. Decapinol reduces adherence of the bacterial plaque to the oral surfaces, and also of bacteria to each other1. This mode of action not only reduces the formation of new plaque but also breaks up existing plaque, making it easier to remove with normal toothbrushing. By reducing the presence of plaque, the amount of bacterial toxins released into the gum is reduced. The end result is a reduction in both plaque and gingivitis.
How to use Decapinol
Twice a day after normal toothbrushing, rinse the mouth with 10ml of Decapinol mouthwash for around 1 minute.
Will Decapinol stain my teeth?
Decapinol does not cause the semi-permanent dark tooth-staining that occurs with chlorhexidine, and which often restricts the duration of use of chlorhexidine products in the treatment and prevention of gingivitis. Chlorhexidine is the key ingredient of most anti-gingivitis products currently recommended by dentists. |
