3M Peridex Chlorhexidine Oral Rinse
3M Peridex is a prescription-strength, 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse used between dental visits to help manage and treat gingivitis.
12% Oral Rinse is a prescription-strength antimicrobial rinse used as part of a treatment plan for patients with gingivitis. Chlorhexidine gluconate is a long established antimicrobial agent in dentistry, and this rinse has a track record spanning more than three decades of clinical use for reducing the bacterial load associated with gum inflammation between scheduled dental visits.
Dentists typically prescribe it for a defined course of use rather than indefinite daily rinsing, often following periodontal treatment or in patients showing active signs of gingivitis that need additional control alongside brushing and flossing. Because it requires a prescription, dental practices dispense it directly to patients as part of a structured care plan rather than selling it as an over-the-counter retail item.
Dentists and periodontists prescribe and dispense this rinse as part of gingivitis management in dental clinics and hospital dental departments. Dental and periodontal practices across the UAE and GCC managing gingivitis cases commonly keep this rinse available as part of their prescribed treatment offerings.
