Toothpaste for daily oral hygiene that combines chlorhexidine (0.12%) and fluoride, two ingredients that help prevent plaque, protect gums, and strengthen tooth enamel. It is used both for daily oral care and as a complement to periodontal treatments.
Chlorhexidine 0.12% acts as an oral antiseptic, reducing the number of bacteria present in the mouth. It does this by altering the cell membrane of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, which are largely responsible for the formation of dental plaque and diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. It also exhibits some activity against certain oral fungi, such as Candida.
One of its most important features is its ability to adhere to teeth and oral tissues, allowing it to continue working for several hours after brushing. This prolonged effect, which typically lasts between 8 and 12 hours, helps maintain control of plaque between brushings.
On the other hand, the fluoride in the formula contributes to the remineralization of tooth enamel, helping to prevent cavities and strengthening the tooth structure. In this way, fluoride complements the anti-plaque action of chlorhexidine.
The paste texture allows for even distribution on tooth surfaces without increasing enamel abrasion or damaging dental restorations such as fillings. This makes it suitable for daily use by adolescents over 12 years of age and adults, following the manufacturer's instructions.
From a microbiological point of view, chlorhexidine can act in two ways:
Bactericidal, when used in higher concentrations, eliminating bacteria.
Bacteriostatic, when used in lower concentrations, preventing bacteria from multiplying.
Although it has some activity against some fungi, its effectiveness against viruses is limited and depends on whether they have an envelope or not.
Regarding side effects, prolonged use can cause surface staining of teeth or fillings, especially with frequent consumption of red wine, coffee, or tobacco. These stains are usually not permanent and can typically be removed with a professional dental cleaning. Temporary changes in taste or a burning sensation on the tongue may also occur at the beginning of use; these symptoms usually lessen over time.
This type of toothpaste should be used as part of a complete oral hygiene routine, which includes proper brushing, flossing or using interdental brushes, and in some cases specific mouth rinses, as recommended by a dental professional.
Finally, this product is indicated for ages 12 and up, should not be ingested, and is contraindicated in people with a chlorhexidine allergy. If persistent adverse reactions or signs of allergy occur, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional.

What is this chlorhexidine paste used for?
It serves as a daily oral hygiene toothpaste and as an aid in the control of bacterial plaque in periodontal procedures, combining antiseptic action and fluoride supply for enamel remineralization.
What microorganisms does it eliminate?
Primarily effective against bacteria responsible for dental biofilm formation (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). It also exhibits activity against some oral fungi (e.g., Candida spp.). Activity against viruses is limited and depends on the type of virus.
How long does the protection last after brushing?
Chlorhexidine has oral substantiality and can maintain antibacterial activity for several hours, usually around 8–12 hours, depending on hygiene and individual factors.
Can it cause tooth stains?
Prolonged use and interaction with beverages or habits such as red wine, coffee, or tobacco can cause extrinsic staining of teeth and fillings. These stains are usually not permanent and are removed with a professional dental cleaning.
Is it suitable for children?
Suitable for ages 12 and up and adults. Not recommended for children under 12 without professional guidance.
What side effects might occur?
Altered taste and a burning sensation on the tongue, especially at the start of use. Hypersensitivity reactions or mucositis may rarely occur; if an allergy is suspected, a healthcare professional should be consulted.
Is it safe to ingest?
No. Do not swallow; use only for oral hygiene and spit out after brushing.
Can it be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Chlorhexidine is used in dentistry with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but the decision to use it should be assessed by the responsible healthcare professional.
It is recommended to brush your teeth for 2–3 minutes after each meal or at least twice a day. Apply the usual amount of toothpaste to a suitable toothbrush and brush thoroughly, including the chewing, buccal, and lingual surfaces, as well as cleaning between teeth. Spit out any excess toothpaste after brushing; do not swallow. If you are undergoing periodontal treatment, follow your dentist's instructions regarding the frequency and duration of use.
Do not swallow. Contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine or any of the excipients. Indicated for children over 12 years of age and adults; pediatric use requires prior professional supervision. May cause altered taste and a burning or stinging sensation on the tongue, effects that usually lessen with continued use. After prolonged use and in contact with beverages and foods such as red wine, coffee, or tobacco, extrinsic staining of teeth and fillings may occur; these stains are usually removable by dental prophylaxis. Avoid accidental ingestion; in case of significant ingestion or allergic reaction, seek medical evaluation. For cases of pregnancy or breastfeeding, discuss its use with your primary care physician or dentist.
