Sometimes medical professionals will prescribe a mouth rinse called Peridex ( 12% chlorhexidine gluconate). It's a mouth rinse that reduces bacteria in your mouth. It is an oral rinse used to treat gingivitis (gum disease), a condition in which the gums become red and swollen. Peridex is used to control gum bleeding caused by gingivitis. It is used usually twice a day after you brush your teeth.
This oral rinse can discolor teeth and your tongue after using it for a long period of time. The good news is that it goes away once you stop taking it. The picture above is an actual case that we saw here at the practice.
