Testing a mouthwash for gum health
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a special mouthwash (chlorhexidine) to see how well it prevents gum inflammation. It compares a standard version to one that also reduces tooth staining. You may be eligible if you are healthy, do not smoke, and have at least 24 teeth with healthy gums.
