Can you use this product as a dental rinse? How much dilution would be necessary for that purpose ?

I also wanted to use it as a dental rinse (0.12%) for my dog but decided against it. All the 1 gallon containers of 2% Chorhexidine gluconate are labelled "For External Use Only" and the one from Durvet (see Q&A; section) contains a list of other ingredients (alkyl dimethylamine oxide, polyoxyethhylene-6-cocamide, octylphenoxypolyethoxyethol, polyethylene glycol etc) besides fragrance & dye. These ingredients were NOT listed on the package. Only the active ingredient Chlorhexidine Gluconate was listed on the bottle. This may be the same for this product especially if it is from Aurora Pharmaceuticals. I also wanted to use it as a dental rinse (0.12%) for my dog but decided against it.

I don't know as I used it for my dog's feet to keep off any chemicals from when they fertilize the grass. I used it diluted. I don't think you can use it for a dental rinse. They also use it for horses.

Yes, if you dilute it down to the correct percentage (0.12% is common for dental use, although one product uses 0.5%). It may stain your teeth, though, as some chlorhexidine mouthwashes do; to reduce chances of staining, brush teeth thoroughly before using the mouthwash. The chlorhexidine gluconate is not bitter and does not sting my (unusually sensitive) eyes [was using it on itchy scalp and got it in my eyes]. May have some perfume in it, my gallons (from Vedco) do, but not that big a deal. Good Luck!

I would consult your veterinarian as there are a few different strengths of Chlorhexidine Solution and you want to make sure that you use the right dilution for the right strength of Chlorhexidine.

CHLORHEXIDINE oral rinse is used to treat gingivitis. 0.12% is used in Human products. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8724706http://www.goodrx.com/chlorhexidine/side-effectshttp://www.farmavazquez.com/tienda/en/mouthwash/152195-bexident-encias-colutorio-clorhexidina-0-12-500-ml.html

I have used prescribed chlorhexidine solutions and tried this product as a much cheaper alternative. This is NOT an equivalent alternative. There is a strong soap component as an inactive ingredient. There is a missing component that is responsible for taste and the sensation in the mouth is quite different (aside from the soap component.) I would strongly recommend that persons do not use this product as a substitute for prescribed dental rinse.

The oral rinse is 0.12 % so the dilution is 16 to one. The label reads for animal use only and humans are animals.
2013529
The label reads "For External Use Only". It is possible the inactive ingredients may be toxic. Unless you get the full ingredient list and are a pharmacist or chemist with a medical or veterinary background I would not put this in your mouth.

Look up the active ingredient in Hibiclense, and who uses it. It is dangerous to have it contact the eyes and ears, so I would be very careful.

Also the dye #3 they use stains even when diluted unless you thoroughly rinse it off right away. I doubt that dye #3 is FDA approved. Most mouthwashes use dye #1. Perioguard by Colgate has 0.012% Chlorhexidine but is prescription only. Surprisingly there are pet versions available over the counter at many pet sites. These are probably safer to use as a dental rinse rather than this which is designed for external cleaning.

I think toothpaste would be too think to dispense properly. Maybe if you emptied the tubes into a container, mixed a little water to thin it, maybe then... but I think your mess factor would be multiplied

That I am not sure of, but I would recommend diluting it if you are using it as a topical due to strength of oil. I would suggest researching it before using it. that way.

I don't think that I would use this product for the purpose of cleaning. It is really slow dissolving and is used more for floating around in a hot tub for a week and keeping it from getting funky.I would pour about a half gallon of regular bleach in water and let it run for about 20 minutes if I wanted to do what your asking about.

It would definitely be good for the whole family to use. You wouldn't want to touch your teeth with the tip, or it would spray all over. I always rinse mine good after use, but I am the only one using it.

don't think it would be a good idea- disperses soap very well. mouthwash would be a little thin

Vernon, The only reason I bought this sulfamic acid was to clean my distiller. As far as the dilution, it's really a matter of trial and error, since the hard caked on mineral deposits vary from water source to water source. Simply put; if your tired of scrubbing caked on mineral deposits in your home water distiller, this is for you. If you do buy it, find the mix ratio that works best for you and let it soak some.

It is usable straight from the bottle. The instructions say you can dilute too. I have not diluted.

Yes you would dilute the concentrate to water on a 1:4 ratio. You then mop the product on and allow it to dry. There is no rinsing necessary.

Use water to dilute it to the specific ratio. There are detailed instructions on how to use and for mixing attached on the bottle.

It is very strong, maximum would be 100%, i used to have a 30% solution and it worked very well. Ongoing I'd stay with 30% becuase this solution may burn a bit. You can use this strength (85%) but follow the instructions exactly starting at 30 sec to a min, and then rinsing with lots of water and a bit of baking soda, just read the insert. i do not know about diluting not sure if it mixes with water well. To be safe you could just go with a lower percentage.

The instructions say "Use 2-3 drops on brush twice daily". I intended to use it as an oral rinse, but couldn't because I am very reactive to "everything" and I couldn't tolerate this. I think it is a good product though.

I've always diluted it.I use it on myself,my pets and my grandkids. Full strength it could possibly sting but not so much if you dilute.Hope this helps. Lee

Personally I'd put it on full strength. I am unsure of the purpose of the citrus solvent other than a specific odor. I just don't like the idea of diluting the product, as I like it to do the job intended. However I know you can add solvents which dissipate over time.

No you can't dilute it, but one bottle last a long time. And the noise is very faint. You have to be within a couple feet to hear it.

I know it is good for mouth sores straight. I would google about the dilution. Or maybe ask the product source. Let us know.

Hi Kelly,I have know idea sorry, I just use as directed per directions on the box. however I find that this product foams up to much when I put it in the teeth tray and when pressed to my teeth it all foams away. does look like it works though my teeth do look whiter. I will buy 22% ACP next time not the 14%.
