## Description

Rejuvenate your mouth with Periogen Oral Rinse. Periogen stands alone as simply the best and most effective oral care product in the world having just won the prestigious 2018 Edison Award under health and wellness. This is on top of winning the U.K. GHP Biotechnology Award in 2017. None of the big oral care manufacturers can do what Periogen does and that is to safely and progressively remove disease causing dental tartar buildup with each application. Periogen is also the best product for keeping your mouth healthy through not allowing plaque and tartar from forming in the first place. Your dentist will tell you that dental tartar is made of plaque that has hardened and is the cause of nearly all gum disease that is why your dental professional wants to remove it through scraping. Plaque and tartar is porous and provides the habit for bad bacteria to thrive. Splashing harsh alcohol and bleach based mouthwashes in your mouth does nothing to remove tartar buildup and only temporarily kills germs as they come right back to live in the porous tartar. When you use Periogen, you are removing dental tartar and the habitat for the bad bacteria. Removing dental tartar buildup keeps your mouth healthy and ends red, sore or bleeding gums, gingivitis, and gum disease. Independent university studies from around the world confirm that Periogen is an effective treatment for gingivitis and is superior to reducing periodontal disease when compared to an oral irrigator alone. Periogen studies confirm a 45% reduction in plaque and tartar buildup when compared to brushing alone. Our formula is safe and not acidic with a healthy 7.5 pH and does not contain alcohol, bleach, triclosan, Xylitol, and will not harm enamel or dental appliances. Periogen is great for kids at least 6 years of age and adults with braces, implants or bridges. Try Periogen for 90 days and join the thousands of people whose dentist has said “your mouth looks great, what have you been doing differently?”

Review: A MIRACLE in a bottle. If you have periodontal issues, you owe it to yourself to get this! - 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 desertcart 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 desertcart) 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 $$$$ and no more 4 X a year cleanings. Seriously. This stuff WORKS. Do yourself a favor and get Periogen AND the Waterpik Ultra....just for the pocket tip alone, the Waterpik is worth every cent. That pocket tip attachment can reach far into any pocket and the tartar will be dissolved by the Periogen making it possible for the pocket to heal and close up. Here's what I do every morning and every night: Pre-rinse with Closys pre-rinse, scrape my tongue, brush my teeth with Closys toothpaste (Closys products are sold here on desertcart, of course) with my Sonicare toothbrush, rinse with water, put 2 scoops of Periogen (there's a small scoop in the bottle) in my Waterpik tank, fill the tank to the top, use the pocket attachment to hit the pocket tartar with the Periogen, switch the attachment to the jet attachment and do the rest of my teeth (front and back) and the gum line. One full tank can do my whole mouth...YMMV. From what I read on the Periogen web site, once your teeth are clean and your gums are healthy, you CAN just swish with Periogen to keep your teeth clean instead of using the Waterpik. Though I plan to never stop using it in the Waterpik because it's the perfect way to clean my teeth, keep them clean and keep my gums healthy. My next cleaning appointment is in September and I KNOW the hygienist and dentist are going to be shocked by my improvement. I can't wait to see their reactions. :) I will report back in Sept. after I see them. By then my entire mouth should be in GREAT condition. If you are fighting periodontal disease, you owe it to yourself to buy Periogen. I promise you, you will be SO happy you did. You will save a TON of $$$$$$ 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.
Review: This is the truth, it works. BUT you have to be persistent, and you have to be brushing and flossing correctly daily. - Hello, this is going to be a full review regarding my experience with Periogen and I will update after my next dentist appointment in October 2015. Let me start my saying that I got this product because I had black tartar or calculus or what not all around my teeth and under the gum line. Especially the lower half, but that's not unusual because that is where food is chewed and stored and where your saliva gather all day. ( I am not a dentist, I do not know the differences between tartar and calculus, so I apologize for that) The first time I used Periogen, I knew it worked, because I had a mouth full of tartar, and knew exactly what tartar taste like from my dentist appointment so many years ago. After using Periogen for the first time, the taste of tartar was suddenly remembered as Periogen started to work it's magic. Now when using the product however, there is no tartar taste, and Periogen is in fact tasteless, my mouth feels so much better after using the product and I have noticed no damaged cause by using Periogen after 30 days. I got this product and started using it because I haven't been to the dentist in over 5 years. The last time I went is when I was 15. I am 21 now. It does work, you need to be patient and you need to be persistent. I will not say that the black tartar came straight off with this product because I've realize this product is no replacement for a dentist if you are already developing black fossilized calculus beneath the gum line or even above the gum line. I believe over a tremendous amount of time (Months and Months), they will finally finally get rid of tartar above the gum line or anywhere it reaches, but it will not happen overnight. The Periogen Mixture can only touch the surface of calculus, so it slowly wears it away. I recently went to the dentist and got all of my tartar and calculus removed, especially the one under the gum line. I knew coming into the dentist that they would recommend a deep cleaning, and that is what I had done. I would recommend you do the same if you're worried about your teeth and haven't been in a long time. As it is simply too late to be looking at "home remedy" After my dentist deep cleaning, I've continued to used the product. It does prevent tartar build up to a degree, but you have to understand that this is no replacement for lazy brushing or flossing. You need to brush correctly and floss correctly as well. If you're brushing the top and bottom row of your teeth together at any point, you are doing it wrong. You must brush them separately at a 45 degree angle inside and outside, then directly flat on top of your molar teeth. furthermore you should not be scrubbing back and forth like how TV and Movies have reinforced this method. THIS IS WRONG and it is a waste of effort as you're only damaging your gum line. As far as flossing goes, if you're sawing your teeth when the floss is in between two teeth, you're doing it wrong. I recommend you to YouTube videos regarding brushing and flossing to see how it should be done correctly and efficiently even if you think you're doing it right just to be sure. Now back to the product it self, I do admit I have been lazy a couple of nights, and did not brush or floss or used Periogen. I've noticed the tartar build up immediately, but most of the tartar was soft enough to be removed after a few pick at them with a tooth pick. However some still remained. After 5 more days after noticing tartar that I couldn't removed by toothpick, these tartar started to shrink in size very very VERY slowly but noticeably nonetheless. Periogen is a tool, a tool is only as good as the user willing to utilize it. The same goes for toothbrush and flosses. You need to use them correctly for the effect to work. I personally did buy a WaterPik for this product, but went against using it after awhile because it is very loud and disturb my household. In my experience, rinsing with this product will yield results to visible tartar above the gum line, but brushing with this product is better, and for best results beneath the gum line and in-between teeth WaterPik Now I know this is going to sound extremely tedious but this is my current routine until all visible tartar is gone I will skip the brushing with Periogen. At night before bed, I will 1. Brush with toothpaste 2. Floss after dipping the floss in my cup of water with Periogen mix 3. Swish my mouth with Periogen once. and with the Periogen mixture still in my mouth I carefully brush my teeth with Periogen 4. Swish the remaining mixture overtime until it is gone. (Usually 9 swish , 10 if counting the brushing portion swish from step 3, 30 seconds each, which turns to be 5 minutes) However in the morning , you don't have all of that food junk between your teeth, so my routine is different. I usually skip the second brushing with Periogen, and just swish the product 10 times as well as skipping the flossing UNLESS I decide to brush after breakfast. In summary, the product works, yes. But you yourself must apply the product correctly and take the time out of your day to be committed. I recommend you read the direction for the product carefully, as many fails to do so. Missing a routine at night before bed is the worse time to be missing one. Missing it in the morning isn't as bad, but still. Any routine for a good mouth will take time, especially at first if you have just started to learn how to brush correctly, your hand eye coordination will be slow as you need to position the toothbrush in many ways and learn the motion. Give it time, after awhile your routine will be faster. My whole routine takes 15 minutes usually. That's 30 minutes out of a day if I perform them both, but it is worth it in my opinion. If you have tartar build up and you don't have a routine that includes brushing/flossing/swishing. There is no magical remedy, the closest thing is your devotion. If you're using this product and still brushing/flossing incorrectly, you're just letting tartar build up as fast as you can get rid of them. UPDATE #1. After brushing today, I've noticed nearly all of my tartar from my days of laziness are gone!! Way faster than before when I first started using Periogen to try to remove 5 years old tartar. It's not really that fair of a comparison. Just letting you guys know that if you do get lazy a day or two and tartar starts to form a bit, do not distress! It will go away as quickly as you gained them. Cheers!! Very happy with my mouth at the moment. I was afraid that no matter how much actions I take, I would have to visit the dentist 4 times a year. But with this type of progress, I think I can lessen that a bit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: why does the tooth have a hair stuck...**
A: Hello Jane,I want to congratulate you on being the first to ask what I asked the day the study photos arrived! The subject in the photo was a participant in a Bremerton, WA study conducted by a dental office equipped with an "endoscope". An endoscope is a specialized tool wherein a wand with a tiny camera on the end can be inserted into the gum line to look for tartar in dental pockets. There are only a few dental offices in the US that have them and they are difficult to use.  The photo was taken by their Hygienist with a standard camera set up for oral photography. No one saw the hair until the pictures were processed a month or two later. Really too late to do anything about. We have a strict policy about not editing research results, so the hair stayed. So here we are using an office for specialized photography and the standard photography comes back with a hair...go figure...JohnThe Periogen Company

**Q: How exactly do you use this product ?**
A: After regular brushing, mix one scoopful powder with half cup of warm water, swish with this mix for a minute. repeat until the mix is finished.

**Q: Do you have to mix this together evertime you use it or can you make a bottle of it ahead of time?**
A: Hello,We have never tested Periogen that has been pre-mixed and stored for any length of time. We have always recommended a fresh batch each time you use it.Sincerely,JohnThe Periogen Company

**Q: Not that I won’t ever go to the dentist again, but can this completely remove built up tartar/calculus with long enough use, without dentistry?**
A: Hello Amazon Customer,

We agree with the other posts..while Periogen does a good job of preventing and reducing tartar buildup we strongly recommend an annual dental visit for a number of reasons. Firstly, oral cancer screenings are very important, secondly Periogen works best on tartar buildup under 1 year old and your dental visit will reaffirm how well Periogen is working for you and how well you are using it. Lastly dental visits are not expensive if it is primarily a cleaning. Dentistry however becomes very expensive if you develop Periodontal disease from tartar going below the gum line. The goal is to prevent that from happening and it affects nearly 70% of the adult population to some degree. Hope this helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MIRACLE in a bottle. If you have periodontal issues, you owe it to yourself to get this!
*by B***R on July 7, 2011*

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.

You must brush them separately at a 45 degree angle inside and outside, then directly flat on top of your molar teeth. furthermore you should not be scrubbing back and forth like how TV and Movies have reinforced this method. THIS IS WRONG and it is a waste of effort as you're only damaging your gum line. As far as flossing goes, if you're sawing your teeth when the floss is in between two teeth, you're doing it wrong. I recommend you to YouTube videos regarding brushing and flossing to see how it should be done correctly and efficiently even if you think you're doing it right just to be sure. Now back to the product it self, I do admit I have been lazy a couple of nights, and did not brush or floss or used Periogen. I've noticed the tartar build up immediately, but most of the tartar was soft enough to be removed after a few pick at them with a tooth pick. However some still remained. After 5 more days after noticing tartar that I couldn't removed by toothpick, these tartar started to shrink in size very very VERY slowly but noticeably nonetheless. Periogen is a tool, a tool is only as good as the user willing to utilize it. The same goes for toothbrush and flosses. You need to use them correctly for the effect to work. I personally did buy a WaterPik for this product, but went against using it after awhile because it is very loud and disturb my household. In my experience, rinsing with this product will yield results to visible tartar above the gum line, but brushing with this product is better, and for best results beneath the gum line and in-between teeth WaterPik Now I know this is going to sound extremely tedious but this is my current routine until all visible tartar is gone I will skip the brushing with Periogen. At night before bed, I will 1. Brush with toothpaste 2. Floss after dipping the floss in my cup of water with Periogen mix 3. Swish my mouth with Periogen once. and with the Periogen mixture still in my mouth I carefully brush my teeth with Periogen 4. Swish the remaining mixture overtime until it is gone. (Usually 9 swish , 10 if counting the brushing portion swish from step 3, 30 seconds each, which turns to be 5 minutes) However in the morning , you don't have all of that food junk between your teeth, so my routine is different. I usually skip the second brushing with Periogen, and just swish the product 10 times as well as skipping the flossing UNLESS I decide to brush after breakfast. In summary, the product works, yes. But you yourself must apply the product correctly and take the time out of your day to be committed. I recommend you read the direction for the product carefully, as many fails to do so. Missing a routine at night before bed is the worse time to be missing one. Missing it in the morning isn't as bad, but still. Any routine for a good mouth will take time, especially at first if you have just started to learn how to brush correctly, your hand eye coordination will be slow as you need to position the toothbrush in many ways and learn the motion. Give it time, after awhile your routine will be faster. My whole routine takes 15 minutes usually. That's 30 minutes out of a day if I perform them both, but it is worth it in my opinion. If you have tartar build up and you don't have a routine that includes brushing/flossing/swishing. There is no magical remedy, the closest thing is your devotion. If you're using this product and still brushing/flossing incorrectly, you're just letting tartar build up as fast as you can get rid of them. UPDATE #1. After brushing today, I've noticed nearly all of my tartar from my days of laziness are gone!! Way faster than before when I first started using Periogen to try to remove 5 years old tartar. It's not really that fair of a comparison. Just letting you guys know that if you do get lazy a day or two and tartar starts to form a bit, do not distress! It will go away as quickly as you gained them. Cheers!! Very happy with my mouth at the moment. I was afraid that no matter how much actions I take, I would have to visit the dentist 4 times a year. But with this type of progress, I think I can lessen that a bit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by I***T on April 25, 2018*

I came across this when I was looking to up my dental care regime and wow!! It works! I was looking specifically for another pre-brush rinse to fight some plaque build up I found on the inside of my two lower front teeth. (this is the most common place it hides), I managed to get a small make-up mirror back there to take a look and I'm glad I did. I gave Periogen a try as it was significantly less expensive that the more commercial one I was looking for. IIm glad I did, I was able to clear up all the plaque in about two weeks. For convenience, I mix a weeks worth in advance and keep it in a water bottle ****(that should be clearly labelled, this has absolutely no taste and could easily be mistaken for water.) I've found the perfect regime for myself. I use a water pic instead of flossing, my electric toothbrush and this. My mouth couldn't be cleaner. Any plaque build up I had was gone and my teeth are whiter. All for a good price.
