Hello:)Welcome to HCM.
Mouthwash are supplied as concentrated solutions.
Use it thrice a week,not daily.
Dilute it in 1:1 ratio with water and gargle.
You can use a inter-dental brush daily after getting your dentist approval.
If you still experience ulcers,discontinue use and use a warm saline water gargle.
Regards.
