Got some gum soreness. Usually I’d dab hydrogen peroxide on it, but it’s strangely difficult to get here (in Portugal every supermarket sells it).
So instead I got chlorhexidine. Went and did a bit of Googling for scientific papers, which resulted in finding out that, and I quote, “chlorhexidine is more effective than povidone iodine and hydrogen peroxide for treating diseased or inflamed gums, but less effective than sodium hypochlorite”
SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?
Talk about using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
I have no plans to use sodium hypochlorite as a mouthwash.

Good luck.
