Today we should be assessing the value of healthy biofilm - and looking at the negative impact of destroying beneficial bacteria in our assault on harmful ones. Chlorhexidine has never been a good long-term solution as it is a scorched-earth tactic. It may have a use - short-term and in limited cases.
