• You can avoid staining by not drinking tea, coffee or red wine – especially one hour after use – and by brushing daily with toothpaste (see usage instructions).
• If staining continues, it can be removed with a scale and polish from your dentist or hygienist. - You can clean your dentures with denture cleaners.
• You may notice a change of taste or burning sensation when you first use the mouthwash. This usually goes away with continued use.

• Keep out of eyes and ears.
