    Despite reading and following all instructions, after 3 doses, I found my tongue had turned brown, my teeth had darkened, and my taste was way off. 3 days later, my gums are still irritated, I had a metallic taste in my mouth and my tongue and teeth are still dark.

    My dentist prescribed this rinse for me because my gums were inflamed and bleeding. After 2 days of use, my gums are feeling much better and the bleeding has been reduced. I can't wait to see how long before the bleeding stops. I see no issues with this drug & it is an awesome rinse. It leaves a very clean feeling in your mouth.

    Used it for two days and seemed to reduce inflammation dramatically. I don't know why they don't have commercials to let people know this drug exists. No side effects yet, but they are a big concern.

    Lost 5 back teeth,3 top, 2 bottom, due to bone loss and gum disease. Used Peridex for post removal healing. Been using it ever since to keep gums healthy. Gum checkups have been near perfect ever since. If I had known about benefits sooner, could have prevented lost teeth due to bone loss.

    I had a serious dental situation and this was terrific to use. I had used it before and knew how I would react. I had a tooth taken out becasue the root was extremly inflamed and decided to do an implant.
