Periogen Complete Oral Health Rinse (3-PK)

I have been fighting periodontal issues for at least 20 years and have gone from a Periodontist wanting $4800.00 for gum surgery (NO WAY) to every 3 months getting my teeth cleaned, to my last visit on June 9, 2011 being told I needed another deep cleaning AND the dentist wanted me to buy a $900 irrigation/brushing/stimulator system. That day, June 9, I immediately came here to Amazon to find a cheaper solution. That's when I found Periogen.I already owned a Braun oral irrigation system, so I have been using the Periogen in that (until yesterday...I got the Waterpik Ultra with the pocket attachment) and the improvement in my teeth and gums is nothing short of AMAZING!. I got the Periogen on June 11 and it's now July 7, so almost a month of use and the improvement makes me SO HAPPY! I had 3 small pockets that have almost completely closed up and the larger pockets around my molers have improved a LOT, but are still there. I did start the Periogen just 2 days after my dental cleaning, so I started with clean teeth and NO TARTAR has developed on my teeth (tartar can start to develop in 18-20 hours). I use Periogen every morning after my coffee and every night just before going to bed. You may want to start with clean teeth, though it WILL dissolve existing tartar...it will just take some time.I then decided that if I had that Waterpik pocket attachment that can reach far into a pocket, I can hit that tartar and probably improve the moler pockets to a point where they're 100% better. I already know the smaller pockets will closed up 100%. They are already 90% there after just 3+ weeks and not using the pocket attachment! So, yesterday I got my Waterpik Ultra (from Amazon) and used it last night and this morning. This is going to be THE solution. That pocket tip goes right to the source of the problem and the Periogen will eradicate any tartar in the gum pockets. This stuff really IS a miracle. If you have suffered through Periodontal disease and have tried everything else, buy Periogen!You can go to Periogen.com and read their site, check out their blog and the CEO/Admin will answer any questions you may have about Periogen.I'm telling you right now, your dentist and periodontist are going to HATE this stuff. They are going to lose so much money in not getting to cut up gums for THOUSANDS of $$$$ and no more 4 X a year cleanings. Seriously. This stuff WORKS.Do yourself a favor and get Periogen AND the Waterpik Ultra....just for the pocket tip alone, the Waterpik is worth every cent. That pocket tip attachment can reach far into any pocket and the tartar will be dissolved by the Periogen making it possible for the pocket to heal and close up.Here's what I do every morning and every night:Pre-rinse with Closys pre-rinse, scrape my tongue, brush my teeth with Closys toothpaste (Closys products are sold here on Amazon, of course) with my Sonicare toothbrush, rinse with water, put 2 scoops of Periogen (there's a small scoop in the bottle) in my Waterpik tank, fill the tank to the top, use the pocket attachment to hit the pocket tartar with the Periogen, switch the attachment to the jet attachment and do the rest of my teeth (front and back) and the gum line. One full tank can do my whole mouth...YMMV.From what I read on the Periogen web site, once your teeth are clean and your gums are healthy, you CAN just swish with Periogen to keep your teeth clean instead of using the Waterpik. Though I plan to never stop using it in the Waterpik because it's the perfect way to clean my teeth, keep them clean and keep my gums healthy.My next cleaning appointment is in September and I KNOW the hygienist and dentist are going to be shocked by my improvement. I can't wait to see their reactions. :) I will report back in Sept. after I see them. By then my entire mouth should be in GREAT condition.If you are fighting periodontal disease, you owe it to yourself to buy Periogen. I promise you, you will be SO happy you did. You will save a TON of $$$$$$ too.In addition, the instructions tell you to use 1 scoop to 1 cup (8oz.) of water. There was no way 1 cup would have been enough for me, so you may be able to use just 1 scoop to 1 cup of water (1st line on Waterpik tank) if you have just 1 or 2 pockets to address. With using 2 scoops in a full tank I can do my pockets and entire mouth, but went through a bottle of Periogen in 3 weeks. Just some food for thought. :)UPDATE after my dental cleaning today...Sept. 14, 2011!I just got home from having my teeth cleaned and the first thing the hygienist said was, "WOW! No stains on your teeth!" As she cleaned she said, "Your teeth are in excellent condition! I have to give you my most improved award!" After she finished polishing them I asked her if my gums were any better and she said, "Your gums are 100% better! Only one small spot around your back crown bled and other than that, no bleeding at all. Your gums are healthy." Absolutely NO MENTION of needing a deep cleaning! Yay! I was in and out of the chair in 15 minutes. She had NOTHING to clean...except a bit of coffee stain in one spot :)(love my coffee!) As I was paying the bill she ASKED ME (!) if I wanted to continue the every 3-4 month cleanings and I asked her what SHE thought and she recommended ONE MORE 4 month appointment just to make sure I remain diligent in my cleaning :). After the cleaning in January, it's back to two times a year!So, there you have it folks! Periogen WORKS and works WELL! Try it. Be diligent. Use it in your waterpik/irrigator twice a day, once in the morning after breakfast or coffee then at night before bed. Concentrate on the pockets and gumline, front and back. You WILL see a HUGE improvement in your teeth and gums. I promise you you will! Periogen may seem expensive, but in the long run, Periogen will save you THOUSANDS of dollars! I will never be told I need to see a Periodontist again. I know that. I also know my dentist isn't ever going to recommend a deep cleaning or that I buy his $900 cleaning system!Final UPDATE January 18, 2012 dental appointment today:I had my dental appointment today and the first thing the hygienist said when she saw my teeth, "WOW! We have a completely new mouth here!" That pretty much says it all right there, does it not? I saw the dentist today too and as he was examining me he commented about how great my teeth looked and the hygienist piped up and told him, "This is definitely our most improved patient!"This is after I dropped down to using Periogen once a day, at night just before bed. Once the plaque is removed, the Periogen keeps it off by using it once a day. It was getting expensive to use this twice a day using three scoops in my waterpik tank (full tank), so I started at once a day after my last appointment and apparently, that worked perfectly.There it is. Proof positive Periogen WORKS and works well! I'll never stop using this stuff. It REALLY IS a MIRACLE in a bottle!If you have periodontal issues, do yourself and your pocketbook a favor and try Periogen. You will save yourself THOUSANDS of dollars in dental and periodontal work. Just make sure you're consistent with it. USE IT.

I swear by this stuff. When combined with my Sonic toothbrush and flossing every day, I've had excellent exams and easy cleanings when visiting the dentist. I recommend it to my family and friends, including my dentist.

I find this to be a definite must have for anyone who is suffering from gingivitis or has a tar and plaque problem. Especially good for smokers and anyone else who has to pay high dental fees for those deep gum cleanings. I have seen stuff come out of my mouth that I didn't even suspect was there after using the product and have been using it twice a day religiously for over a month. My next deep gum cleaning is scheduled for Sept. 2016 and I will have just about finished my three bottles by then to see what my hygienist says. I must comment that I use this product before I use my water pic and it does make my teeth look brighter and cleaner. But then I follow up with a Listerine mouthwash and brush my teeth using the waterpic again. This routine morning and night has given me confidence to smile without worrying there is food particles caught in my teeth much less showing the yellowing effect of coffee stains. The key is to continue using it to obtain optimal results and although I was initially hesitant to purchase this product due to some negative reviews, I know my own habits and had to see for myself. I highly recommend this product for people suffering bad dental hygiene and I was not given any compensation to review this product. I'm just an ordinary consumer like you

This is a total scam. It contains citric acid. You saw that correctly, citric acid. You shouldn't put acid on your teeth as it eats away the enamel. Enamel cannot be replaced. Do not buy. You've been warned.

I have always had problems with tartar buildup. I go to my hygenist every 2 months. Before Periogen use, I used a Phillips Sonicare HX6150 toothbrush, a Waterpik WP-100W flosser, and Dentek Comfort Clean Easy Angle floss picks. I generally do my oral hygene twice a day, with about 11 times a week success rate(missing a few at night, and sometimes on weekends). After adding the scoop of Periogen to my Waterpik, the last two cleanings with my hygenist have shown significantly less buildup on my teeth. The process of the Periogen must get into the semiformed calculus and weaken its bond, allowing the other processes to work better, so that it does not form as much or can be removed easier. It is as simple as that, add a scoop to your Waterpik. I have gone through 2 Waterpiks and 2 Sonicare toothbrushes over the last several years, trying to use the best products on the market to get/keep my teeth and gums in good condition. I went from 4 cleanings a year to 6 cleanings a year because of the severe buildup. Since my insurance only covers 2 per year, you can see that these 4 cleanings out of pocket cost me $540 a year. I might be able to save $270 a year by investing $120 a year for Periogen. Right now I am more interested in keeping my teeth healthy so I am still going 6 times a year and Periogen has worked. I highly recommend this product.

I have used periogen rinse before and yes it is good. But man! The price!! I saw someone else’s review that recommended periadactol kit, and for the price and the many good reviews, I am willing to try it.This price is just absurd on periogen. That is why I give it 2 stars.

My dentist recommends this product. Amazing how it removes plaque from my teeth and helps with better hygiene.
