Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) is usually prescribed for short-term use, typically 2 to 4 weeks, to help manage gum disease or after dental procedures. You should use it for the duration recommended by your dentist or doctor, as long-term use can cause side effects like staining of the teeth. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding how long to use Peridex.
