I wouldn'trecommendusing that on an iguana.. it's probably too harsh. what I use when mine has infections, is watered down peroxide and/or neosporin. the best thing to do for an infection is LIGHTLY swab it out, then have a warm damp washcloth set on it every day for a couple hours. but don't use the washcloth too often or the would could become gangrenous.

Why Chlorhexidine is used in tootpast and mouthwashes?
Basicaly chlorhexidine is an antibacterial used as a disinfectant and other applications. It is also used in disinfectants (disinfection of the skin and hands). Chlorhexidine is often used as an active ingredient in mouthwash designed to reduce dental plaque and oral bacteria. Chlorhexidine lasts longer in the mouth than other mouthwashes, which is partly why it is to be preferred over other treatments for gums. So that is the reason for chlorhexidine to be used in tootpast and mouthwash.
