function of both formulations remains same,just to clean your skin.but ofcourse facewash & bodywash with ph around 5.5 do not let your skin become dry after using them.these formulations are more popular as they are cosmetically more acceptable.
Kindly use chlohex plus ads two times daily for 15 days. And massage your gums with gum paint two times daily for 15 days. If still problem persistent kindly visit your dentist again.
Paste is definitely better than powder as tooth powder is more abrasive and will abrade the teeth.
Use mouth wash half an hour after brushing.
Clohex ADS is good.
