| 1 | Treat infecti9n | Swollen tongue, red/inflamed interior of mouth, blisters, skin peeling off if inside of cheeks and lips, dry lips, increased saliva and drymouth at the same time- who knew that was even possible? Mouth feels like it has been scalded, or chemically burnt. I also have skin lesions appearing. Stopped using 2 weeks ago- no improvement on burning, blisters or swelling. Miserable. | Don't do it. Ask for alternative solutions. | 35 | 20 days 15ml | 6/20/2017 | 1 | Molar extraction and dental implant | After about a week of taking this I had a metallic taste in my mouth. I also have digestive issues(diarrhea) but that could have been from the antibiotics that I was taking. Dentist said to reduce to once-daily and use a Q-tip and swab over the tooth area for 15 seconds. And that was fine until day 13. Now I have a yellow colored tongue, a metallic taste most of time and dehydration on and off throughout the day. | I've only discontinued use for 36 hours I am taking kefir with garlic as well as cilantro in hopes of counteracting some of this. It's just guesswork here. I'm also going to visit my acupuncturist to see if she can help out with this. I will update if I get help or if I get better, if this site allows me to. | F | 60 | 2 weeks 2x daily | 4/15/2017 | 1 | Gum infection | Tongue is numb, loss of taste, constant metallic taste in mouth, notice white sores in back of my throat. Salivary glands confused, excessive salivating to extreme dry mouth. | How long does this last? Did anyone experience permanent loss of taste? | F | 48 | 7 days | 4/10/2017 | 1 | Implant Surgery | Increased tartar, burning tongue/mouth, dryness in mouth, causing slight gum bleeding and metallic taste | This really should not be so easily prescribed. The so called dentist that did my implants is so clueless. As my general dentist said, they only prescribe this mouthwash in case of advanced periodontitis, and to only use once a day for a week. This should not be prescribed for any extractions, oral surgeries or root canals. The mouth issues, especially burning, can last months. I am also wary of those good rating reviews - just think about it for a minute. Do you really search internet to post glowing reviews of a mouthwash you just used, especially on a site that has so many complaints? Usually, with use of mouthwash, if it's good you move on and don't look for sites to post it. Anyway, this product sucks and side effects are irritation of your mouth and throat | F | 40 | 15 days 15ml 1X D | 4/7/2017 | 1 | To prevent infection b/f extraction | Bleeding gums, mouth sores/fissures and burning tongue. Thank you to all that reviewed this product. I looked it up because I have never had bleeding gums or fissures that hurt inside my mouth. I also have the "burning tongue" everyone talks about, that just occurred today. After researching this product I immediately threw it out and began using warm salt water as a rinse after brushing...my mouth already feels better. I can't thank everyone enough for the warnings; I will also let my dentist know so they may consider not prescribing this to patients, this had taught me a valuable lesson about looking up the medication BEFORE use. | I would not use it at all and stick to warm salt water rinse. | F | 40 | 7 days .12% | 4/4/2017 | 4 | Post extraction and sensitivity | None | I find this to be a superior mouth rinse. No bad taste, no change in taste. It seems to be doing a great job at healing my gums. My mouth feels really clean after use. | F | 44 | 1 weeks 2x daily | 4/1/2017 | 2 | Root amputation | At the beginning it had soothing effect, but now have large dark brown patches on my tongue and it leaves bad taste in my mouth. Will discontinue use and stick to saltwater rinse. | F | 60 | 10 days 15 2X D | 3/9/2017 | 1 | Implant gum inflammation | Tongue is completely black and peeling. Teeth are now badly stained turning brown especially in front bottom and in between. Brushing will not remove dark stains. | It worked to reduce inflation but I would not recommend due to staining and causes dull sense of taste. Hope stains go away and taste returns. Stopped using it. Wasn't warned of side effects. | F | 61 | 3 weeks 2x dsy | 2/24/2017 | 1 | Extraction | Skin rash on jaw line, Awful taste, Loss of taste | Was prescribed this mouth rinse after my wisdom tooth extraction. Started using it 2 days after the surgery. The day after I first used it I tried to eat some chicken soup and found it very bland, out of concern and curiosity I put some salt on my finger and licked it. I could hardly taste it. I have also been experiencing an acne-like allergic break out across my jaw line. Will not be continuing the use of this product and do not recommend it to anyone. I'm thankful I decided to look into it and found this page as it's clear that the majority of patients who have used this rinse have had extremely negative experiences. Dangerous stuff. I'll stick with warm water and salt. | F | 24 | 5 days 20ml 2xDay | 2/17/2017 | 1 | gingigivits | I cannot taste anything. Everything is bitter and metallic. It is very scary. It has been 4 days since I stopped---and I only used it 8 times. But my taste is not improving and I cannot eat anything. I read that the effects can be permanent on the drug fact sheets from the manufacturer. I can't stand the thought of this lasting permanently. I have stopped eating. | F | 46 | 4 days 2X D | 12/7/2016 | 1 | Dentist recomended rinse | Immediately itchy gums, dry throat and mouth. Within days my tongue swelled, had inflamed bumps on back of tongue, sore throat, now a cluster of blisters on bottom lip. | I'm complaining / file grievance against dentist. I told dental office how upset I was and getting dollars back. Charged me $80 for this rinse after a full mouth debridement! Of course not covered and recommended by dentist. Trusted that and had it done. They have to know about side effects. | F | 52 | 4 days 15-30 ml | 11/20/2016 | 1 | Gum grafting | I had gum grafting done and was told to rinse with this solution daily. With so much packing in my mouth and the retainer on my top teeth to cover the incisions on the roof of my mouth I did not notice the tremendous amount of STAINING this product was causing. Also, I could NOT TASTE any foods but assumed it was from the work done and the retainer. I was so surprised when I returned home from my last visit to the periodontist to see that my teeth were BROWN (they are normally very white). I will have to go to the dentist to try to have the discoloration removed. And it was been 5 WEEKS since the surgery and I still CANNOT taste anything. There was no warning label on the bottle. If I had known these side effects I would NOT HAVE USED THIS PRODUCT | Do NOT use this product | F | 55 | 2 weeks 15ml | 11/18/2016 | 4 | Inflamed gums | The aftertaste last a long time, but not terrible. You have a feeling of a slightly foamy mouth for hours. I assume that is it still working. | I have been using PerioRx, which is the same as Peridex. This is my 2nd time using this product. Both times have been the same. It doesn't taste great, but at the same time, it's not terrible. The aftertaste stays with you for AWHILE, but again, not unbearable. I have never had a "burning" sensation as others described. No staining of tongue or teeth. No loss of taste, although with the strong aftertaste, it alters the flavors of things, but nothing crazy. It kind of leaves my mouth feeling "foamy" for lack of a better word, but that is almost comforting as it feels like the wash is still working hours after I used it. Gums are better for sure. In my personal experience (both times) the good far outweighs the "bad", if you want to call it that. I equate it to nothing more than a "yucky" cough syrup like we all took as kids. Unappealing taste, but gets you taken care of. Wouldn't hesitate using it again if instructed to do so by my dentist... | M | 36 | 7 days Half a cap 2X D | 9/30/2016 | 1 | gum infection | I used it yesterday. First when I had it in my mouth,I noticed it burned my mouth and tongue. After using it I did not taste anything. Today my tongue is numb and I have problems to taste foods normally. When I eat I feel burning in my tongue. I only used this one time. | I hope I would have not been used this stuff. It is really scary not to be able to taste. I wonder when my ability to taste comes back, or does it come back :( Scary stuff, not gonna use this anymore. | F | 30 | 1 days | 9/18/2016 | 1 | Tooth extraction | DESTROYED taste buds. Extreme burning sensation in throat and lips | DO NOT USE!!!! | F | 50 | 3 weeks 2X D | 9/16/2016 | 1 | Bone graft and dental implants | Burning tongue, burning gums and lips, receding gums and dry mouth | This product is scary. It can wreak such a havoc in your mouth that you would not know what hit you. And this applies to Perdiex and generic Peridex prescriptions. I used it for 2 weeks and let me tell you my tongue burned, it caused geographic tongue, dry mouth feeling and in addition to that receded gums causing slight gingivitis. And why that happened? It was because it wiped all good bacteria leaving a room to any bad bacteria to mess with your mouth. I'm 3 months post usage and still can feel the side effects of it. FDA lists all those as side effects on the website but I could not find on the bottle. It's a mess, it causes you to panic and thinking you have some nasty condition going on. I went to ENT and oral surgeon to see what is going on. I also found a blog of a person that developed burning tongue after using Peridex and oral thrush. It took this person a while to get rid of the burning tongue effect. What's in this stuff and why it's taking so long for the side effects to go away. | F | 41 | 2 weeks 15ml 2X D | 8/16/2016 | 1 | bleeding gums and inflamed gums | burning tongue,burning gums,weird tasting food,receeding gums | AVOID THIS CRAP AT ALL COST!!..here is my story. i started taking this medication in december of 2015, i took it for a good week and stopped. as soon as i started taking this crap my tongue started burning,my gums started burning,i could not taste food properly anymore....anyhow i started panicking and had to go see 3 ent's and 1 mouth specialist to see what was going on with my mouth...long story short, if some of you are panicking about those side effects, know that now most of them are now gone..no more tongue burning,no more gum burning...and i can now taste food properly again...it took a good 8 months for everything to be back to normal.....i hope this will be the same for you guys!! | M | 43 | 1 weeks 1oz 2X D | 8/4/2016 | 1 | Extraction and dental implant | Bleeding gums, receding gums, burning tongue, mouth and lips, kills good bacteria, dry tongue and weird taste. | Horrible and nasty product. Should be taken off the market or better yet those who produce that piece of garbage should take it themselves. Also, the dentist who prescribed, I would rate him same as this product. Not worth it. It does a lot of damage. What it treats it also damages. Causes receding and bleeding gums, horrible taste, white coated tongue, messes with saliva and mucous. Nasty, nasty stuff, | F | 39 | 2 weeks 15ml 2X D | 7/5/2016 | 1 | Deep scale and gum surgery | Burnt tongue feeling; like you've scolded your tongue | DONOT USE THIS TRASH!!!! Don't even take a chance. My life is miserable at the moment. I'm not enjoying food or drink. HORRIBLE!!!!! | F | 54 | 3 days 2X D | 6/1/2016 | 2 | Gingivitis | Burning sensation on tongue and in mouth lasting for days, change in taste perception, extremely chapped lips (to the point where the sides of my mouth were bleeding). Swelling in the neck first few days. | I would suggest trying a more gentle method, first. I don't normally react to negatively to medication, but this is simply toxic. It dehydrates you, and fixes the bit of inflammation in the gums, but causes far too many additional issues. I'll keep it around as an absolute last resort, but not a go to. | F | 19 | 7 days 15 mL | 5/11/2016 | 1 | bone graphing and titanium implant | My tongue is swollen and mostly black on the surface. My mouth is dry. I didn't realize Peridex was causing this problem until I started searching the internet. I have recently had colon cancer and thought at first it has spread to my tongue so I was all set to make an appointment with my oncologist until I read about this product causing these side effects. | I would not recommend using it. I have had dental procedures in the past which were just as extensive and was not prescribed this product or anything similar. Just told to rinse my mouth at least 3 times a day with warm water and a teaspoon of salt and I was back to normal in a couple of weeks. | F | 70 | 15 days 15 ml 2X D | 5/6/2016 | 1 | Extraction and implant | Terrible dryness in mouth and thoat. Puss filled sores on raw throat, no swelling. Tested negative for strep. Horrible, consrant, metalic taste in throat. Loss of taste, except for bitter. 5 months post usuage. | F | 51 | 10 days X3 daily | 3/19/2016 | 2 | I completely agree with the symptoms here. | I completely agree with symptoms here! It is ridiculous how that's the only thing they recommended. My tongue and teeth are black! I have a bad taste in my mouth that would never go away. I feel something at the back of my throat like a bad tasting liquid flowing now | F | 1 weeks | 1/19/2016 | 1 | Gingivitis | DO NOT USE THIS! THIS IS BAD NEWS! My tongue and throat feel burnt. I have a sensation of a lump in my throat that won't go away. I'm tired. I thought I had a tumor or a swollen thyroid, but then I looked up these reviews and much to my surprise and anger, my symptoms are here! My glands under my neck are swollen. I will be calling my dentist and reading him the riot act. Who would have thought a mouthwash could be so toxic and that people are still prescribing this with all the bad experiences reported! I'm angry! | Shame on you, Peridex and anyone who puts Chlorahexidrine in their products. | F | 51 | 7 days | 1/11/2016 | 1 | gum graft | by day 7-8, mouth had metallic taste which got worse each day Thought maybe was graft rejection (Dr. out of town!) several days later, checked internet and found similar problems so I stopped. Will see Dr Tomorrow...have been using warm salt water to try to rinse awful taste and smell I can only describe as bottom of litter box! Ugh! | F | 70 | 12 days 2X D | 8/24/2015 | 2 | Swollen Gums due to a root canal | I would not ever recommend this for any length of time. I experienced throat swelling, burning sensation in mouth, loss of taste, and the worst part, wait....BROWN stating on some of my teeth. On a good note it significantly reduced swelling in my gums and took care of that problem but added a host of others. It's not worth it. | I would try an alternative method first. | F | 38 | 3 weeks .12 | 8/19/2015 | 1 | Bleeding and puffy gums when brushing | Extreme dry mouth, bitter taste, extreme burning of tongue, lack of taste, dry lips | My dentist gave me Perodex and I had no idea it was only suppose to be used for only a short time. Within the period of 3 years I used 6 bottles. I've had a dry mouth now for 2 weeks where I can barely swallow. My tongue is so dry it sticks to my finger. There have been times when I was eating that I could not tell you what kind of food was in my mouth because I had no taste. The last time I used it I felt like there was acid onnmy tongue and its still burning and the buds of the tongue are raised and prominent. I am furious at my doctor because he had no idea he kept refilling this. He even gave me refills which he denied he'd ever do until I pulled out all the slips and showed him. After he gave me the first bottle how could he forget? Or even when I asked him for another bottle, the word another means I was give one already. I use Biotene to work up saliva but that doesn't even work anymore and I can take living like this. It's difficult to talk when your tongue sticks to the roof of the mouth. I just can't believe I was given his medicine for 3 years! My lips are dry and I can't eat anything with salt or vinegar. No ketchup either. Everything has to be soft. His answer was, its all in the past. Well not for me! He's suppose to be one of the best in his field too! Do not use this rinse. The bad effects outweigh the good by a mile! | F | 29 | 3 years . 2X D | 7/7/2015 | 1 | Gingavitis | Dry mouth no saliva. Burnt my tongue Raised bumps on my tongue. I can not taste. | Do not use | F | 29 | 3 years Don't reme 1X D | 7/6/2015 | 1 | Dental surgery | An hour after second use, my face, tongue, and throat area started to swell. I started to feel that I was starting to have difficulty breathing. I immediately rinsed mouth out and took a Benedryl. It improved just a little. I felt another wave of the difficulty breathing and went toward the ER. I called the periodontist but he couldn't believe it was related to the rinse. I know it was as it was the only new thing after the dental surgery 2 days ago. The ER staff immediately noticed the allergic reaction and provided necessary care. | I would not use this again nor would I recommend it to anyone else. An alternative is rinsing with salt and water and I will stick to that. Doctors need to read all the info and believe patients when they say there is a problem. | F | 43 | 1 days 15 ml 2X D | 6/6/2015 | 1 | pregnancy related inflammation | Awful nausea and, pardon TMI, very frequent bathroom trips | I only was able to take this stuff for 3 days before getting so nauseous it felt like I was back in 1st trimester. Used it last night for the last time and am still nauseous at 3 pm today. Had a deep cleaning done today and won't touch this stuff with a 10 foot pole. I have a 2 year old and being sick, with stomach aches, and inability to eat is very inconvenient. My whole body feels poisoned. | F | 33 | 3 days 15mg | 5/4/2015 | 4 | Titanium implant and bone graft | Day 7 I woke up and my tongue was COMPLETELY black like I had colored it with black food coloring. Scraped as much as I could off. My teeth have also started staining in between each other. I did have a mouth sore pop out of no where on day 5 as well as a crack in my lip on the side where I swish that Ive never had before on day 3. | I dont mind the taste at all and don't experience any numbness or tingling. | F | 33 | 7 days a cap full 2X D | 4/3/2015 | 4 | Pre- Wisdom Extraction and Infectio | I recently started taking it for my gum disease and infection of wisdom tooth and in currently waiting for my extraction it doesn't taste that bad but it leaves a weird tingling feeling in my mouth. I noticed my gums are not as red so that's good. | I would recommend it to anyone else who doesn't have a lot of allergy problems | F | 25 | 7 days 15ML | 4/2/2015 | 1 | gum disease | Sores in mouth and very sore throat hard to swallow | I'm going to discontinue use and consult my doctor. I haven't experienced any taste changes, but my throat is very sore right inside my mouth. It looks like their are sores around the base of my throat. | F | 33 | 7 days 2-3x week | 3/24/2015 | 1 | Extraction | Bitter taste, numbness, stinging, ONGOING dry mouth, numbness, tongue growth, skin sloughing on cheeks | I have a very high threshold for pain and discomfort and am usually willing to either forgo medication and soldier through or deal with side effects. I wish I had NEVER used this crap! Like another person who posted, I don't like the side effects of oral antibiotics, so when I had an extraction I was given this rinse instead. In retrospect, I wish I had used salt water and waited for signs of an infection onset before starting this. But I thought I should be proactive. BIG MISTAKE! I am now SIX WEEKS since ending this product and I have dry mouth so bad I live on Act dry mouth lozenges. My tongue has an almost thrush like appearance and I can still peel away swatches of skin from my cheeks. My mouth is so dry I have difficulty speaking and the irritation of my cheeks is absolutely maddening. I constantly feel like little pieces of skin are going down my throat and today I actually swiped and discovered that yes- little dried pieces of skin are in fact to be found in my mouth! Yum. My extraction site has healed over but every few days the skin seems to get dried out and sloughs off like a callous. This stuff SUCKS , plain and simple. I am tired of the dryness, tired of areas of pain and tingling along the side and tip of my tongue ( feels a bit like a canker sore rubbing against teeth but nothing is visible and it moves location in my mouth ) and tired of eating my own damn cheeks. Never ever will I used this! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANYONE. | F | 51 | 10 days 1.5 ml 2X D | 3/13/2015 | 1 | It was unnecessary use! | Horrendous reaction within an hour that continues into a 3rd day without noticeable relief along with additional symptoms. Severe metallic taste, sloughing of mucous membranes, chapped lips, loss of all taste, swollen tongue and lips, dry mouth, gastrointestinal discomfort. | This is a dangerous Rx mouthwash that the FDA must investigate and remove. There is no antidote for a quick rid of this poison from the body. It is a sticky bonding. I called the FDA and the agency will not investigate until there are many serious complaints. Go to http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/default.htm I called 3M since the company acquired the manufacturing and marketing rights to the PERIDEX brand in May, 2007. 3M's "Omni Preventative Care" since early 2006 has been selling this poison to dentists in the USA since 2000. Since May, 2007, 3M now owns all rights related to the PERIDEX business beyond their existing distribution. The dentist and 3M could not help me with an antidote. The dentist suggested Benadryl & a steroid pack - both of which I am unable to use. 3M connected me to a 3rd private party "Poison Control Center." The Center was of no help except to advise to see a medical doctor or ER hospital or ER clinic. It is 3M's responsibility to educate their dentist clients of the potentially severe side effects of PERIDEX and the importance of screening. I am 85 lbs.- small frame - and my weight falls into children's category. I doubt that PERIDEX would be used on a child. I had asked the hygenist to use warm salt water rinse and she said that PERIDEX would be more effective. I was a compliant patient and regret it. The FDA wrote a warning re: PERIDEX http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryI | F | 41 | 1 days 0.12% 1X D | 2/11/2015 | 1 | Tooth extraction | Loss of taste, mucous membrane shedding, tonsil and throat irritation, SLOWED healing of extraction site, Paresthesia | Because I have strong GI reactions to oral antibiotics my oral surgeon prescribed this as a post-op antibiotic. I had no infection and this was strictly to be preventative. Yes, the tingly feeling is intense and everything had either a metallic taste or no taste ( Taste bud issues are resolved. ).I still have a discolored tongue as well. What I experienced of greatest concern was that it seemed to slough off the skin in my cheek area, which was awful, and it kept the extraction site from closing.It seemed to be " burning "away the layers forming within the hole and I could taste that particular funky flavor of an open wound. The paresthesia I will open-mindedly say may be from the novacaine shot hitting a nerve.That has resolved perhaps 85%. It is listed as a potential side effect however, so who knows. By far the worst is the irritation to the back of my throat and tonsils.I don'thave tonsillitis,strep, tonsiliths etc. I simply have a feeling of an obstruction, grittiness ( like popcorn shells) and a choking sensation if I press on my salivary glands in the neck region. My tonsils are not swollen. I believe that it irritated the mucous and the sensation I have is from the inflammation and irritation. The only thing that helps is eating foods or drinking liquids that coat. ( I suggest the heavy syrup of canned peaches. ) My extraction went off without a hitch. Ironic! I will never willingly use this again. IF I actually develop an infection I might have no ch | M | 51 | 10 days 1.5 ml 2X D | 2/8/2015 | 4 | Wisdom Teeth Extraction | Slight burning, and a weird aftertaste | Most of these reviews are negative, but if you're reading these because you're anxious about having to use Peridex, do not worry, it isn't bad at all! It doesn't taste too bad, and the only side effect I experienced was a slight burning if I left it in my mouth too long. But when they say to not rinse, they mean it. It only amplifies the medicinal taste. Good luck! | F | 18 | 2 days 15ml 2X D | 12/31/2014 | 1 | Rinse after peridontal cleanings. | I was prescribed PerioRx as a rinse for 2 weeks, after having peridontal cleanings, has the same ingredients as Peridex. I was supposed to use it twice a day, could only use once a day. After the 2 weeks I noticed that everything does not taste the same. That was 3 months ago. I told my dentist but he did not know what it could be either. I thought the Listerine had done this, untill I came across these post. | F | 59 | 2 weeks 1/2 oz. | 12/5/2014 | 1 | Deep cleaning | The tip of my tongue burns constantly throughout the day and dulls only a couple of hours between uses. Also, I feel an increase in buildup on the teeth after using it - I just got a deep cleaning and it's taking away the effects. And let's not even start on the taste buds. My sense of taste is drastically diminished. I can not taste salt - I swished with salt water and could barely tell there was any salt in it. I tried to use it for as long as possible but the side effects aren't worth it. It did help relieve bleeding and sensitivity in the gums, but I'd much rather taste food and be comfortable throughout the day. So, definitely going to stop using this and just going to use Listerine or something. | For your tongue's sake, don't use this for very long if at all. | F | 22 | 4 days 15 mg 2X D | 11/25/2014 | 1 | sore gums | profound loss of taste - I fear that this is permanent. Does anyone know of anything that can help resolve this??? | Do not use!!! | F | 56 | 1X D | 11/6/2014 | 1 | Gingivitis | GUMS are very IRRITATING right now. UGH. Especially the bottom. I feel like biting into my own gums. I used it twice a day and sometimes once a day because I forget. It's been about a month use. My gums are red and irritating for a week now. Of course it bled because it's irritated. I want to stop using it but feel like I have to take it. Please help. Maybe it's too strong for my gums and should take it 2-3 times a week instead of daily? It wasn't like this before I started taking this. Will this irritateness go away? Sometimes the top of my tongue is white color but that comes & go. It has small red bumps towards the front and especially at the tip of my tongue. It burns when I use the the mouthwash. The other day, lemon juice BURNED my tongue. Ow. Can't talk straight and I felt like Sylvester the Cat & Daffy Duck when I'm talking. My inner lips burns & irritates when I brush my teeth and use the mouthwash. My mouth is dry. Food is tasteless. | F | 36 | 30 days 15 1X D | 10/21/2014 History | 5 | Implant Surgery | None except tingling in mouth. | I did not experience any negative effects of this wash. I followed the instructions exactly. I had to undergo several oral surgeries and have successfully used this wash after each surgery with no side effect. The product kept infection at bay. I suggest that anyone who uses the product follow the instructions and if you have any of the side effects that are listed within these reviews you discontinue use and gargle with warm salt water. If it burns after one uses the product I suggest the same. Rinse immediately with warm salt water. | F | 56 | 2X D | 9/24/2014 | 1 | periodontal scaling | Had deep cleaning and RDH recomended Peridex. She said some people experienced bad taste. So I bought from the dentist office for $16. After reading comments I will pass on this. Will do more salt water swishes and Listerene after each meal. Think I will carry small bottle in my pocket from now on. Good thing for internet and reviews. | M | 60 | 0 days 15mg 2X D | 9/9/2014 | 3 | wisdom teeth extraction | I used the peridex before bed,I did not rinse like it says not to.I woke up the next morning and half of my tongue was numb along with the top of my mouth. Im also getting staining and I've only been using it 2×a day for a week. On the positive side if my mouth gets sore after eating and I use it, it seems to help knock the bacteria out and I have less pain and inflammation. | F | 28 | 7 days 15 ml 2×da | 8/13/2014 | 4 | Gum Graft | Dry mouth, Rinse taste funny, chapped lips | Overall am happy with the product. Mostly everything that is stated is noted on the bottle or the pharmacy paper - no real surprises here people. Worked well on my gum graft surgery, used it after every meal to insure clean mouth as I do not want to deal with infected gums. Increased water intake helps with dry mouth and chapped lips problem. | F | 29 | 16 days 4X D | 8/12/2014 | 1 | gingivitis | Since I have been using peridex I got a thick white coat on my tongue, I can only taste 10% of what I eat or drink and now I have a little tenderness in gums when I eat or drink and I can fill the tenderness and a little tingling from my gums through my teeth when I drink, and now I'm wanting to stop using it and I thought I should let people know that the dentists know what peridex does to people and they don't care, you can call the Fda to let them know what peridex is doing to you 1-800-FDA-1088 or you can call 3M ESPE 1-800-634-2249 MON-FRI. 8a.m.-5p.m.CST | M | 33 | 10 days 1 pint | 8/9/2014 | 1 | Oral Surgery | Feeling like tongue and roof of mouth was burned; loss of taste; slimy feel on roof of mouth; throat irritation | This stuff may kill the germs but it kills everything else too. I stopped taking this rinse after 4 days. It's been two days, and I hope the burned sensation and taste alteration goes away. For those who think the rest of us are "cry babies" just be thankful you didn't have this awful sensation, or you'd be crying too. There has to be something less brutal out there that serves the same benefits. | F | 52 | 4 days 15ML 2X D | 8/7/2014 | 1 | Dental implant rinse | Wish I had read these reviews before taking this product. My tongue feels as if it were burned. I am left with limited taste in my mouth. Eating is not as pleasurable. If I had further surgery, I would NOT take this product! | F | 58 | 7 days 30 2X D | 7/20/2014 | 1 | Abcessed tooth, periodontal disease | Horrible bitter taste 24hrs/ day. Loss of most Taste sensation. Tingling for hours after rinsing with it. Rinsing with water afterward did not help. I will stick with Listerine | F | 37 | 3 days 15mL 2X D | 5/25/2014 | 1 | Before and after abscess root canal | Stained my teeth brown, even after disuse 2 weeks later mouth and tongue feel burnt, taste buds are different , gums are swollen and sore. I have a white thick coat in tongue , mostly mad about brown teeth can't brush it off, tried everything | F | 52 | 1 days | 4/28/2014 | 1 | dental bone graft after extraction | Hard palate is totally raw with open sores. Anything that touches my plate burns now. My tongue feels funny as well. | F | 60 | 5 days 0.12% 2X D | 3/1/2014 | 4 | Reduce Gum Bleeding | I experienced some 'burnt tongue' and reduced taste sensation for the first two days. after continued use those side effects subsided. it has improved my oral health significantly and i am happy with it. | The taste and tongue issues go away after a few days of regular use. They will come back if you don't use it regularly (eg 2x a day). Remember you should not eat or drink ANYTHING within 30-60 minutes after using it. This will reduce the effectiveness of the medication and make the taste/tongue problem worse | M | 29 | 2 weeks 15 2X D | 1/26/2014 | 1 | Pre-op wisdom teeth | Wow I am so unbelievably mad my oral surgeon prescribed me this to use before my surgery. I use it once tonight and immediately after, my tongue started to feel as if I left it on a burning stove for an hour. The taste in my mouth is absolutely horrible. I swear if I wake up in the morning and it's the same and I can't taste my food, I'll flip out. This stuff is poison. All you people who have used it with no problems, BE THANKFUL!!!!!!! | F | 21 | 1 times | 12/30/2013 | 1 | Dental implant with bone graft | Loss of taste, saliva. Dry tongue. This effect seems to be permanent | F | 66 | 21 days 2X D | 12/2/2013 | 1 | Oral and gum surgery | Two weeks after surgery, I used this rinse 3/4 times a day for two weeks. I noticed right away the burnt tongue and no taste or smell. Last night I notice my tongue and brownish color spots on my teeth.. I'm freaking out!!! Anxiety really bad. Then I looked up side affects to this rinse and I'm speechless ... Why wasn't I told this could happen? Now I have to pay to get the stains off my teeth,the surgeon should pay for it !! Ugh!!! | F | 42 | 3 weeks 30 | 11/21/2013 | 5 | tooth extraction | Great product! It has kept the extraction site perfectly healthy and it's healing quickly. No side effects at all. none! | great product for me. | F | 43 | 2 weeks 15ml 2X D | 11/14/2013 | 2 | gum surgery | After a few days of rinsing the surgery site twice a day I noticed mild irritation of my cheeks and tongue. Still a bit irritated almost 24 hrs after discontinuing use. | I used Peridex 6 months before for a previous gum surgery experience and did not notice any negative side effects. After noticing some mild irritation this time I did an internet search and found this site with other Peridex users negative experiences. | F | 45 | 5 days 2X D | 8/21/2013 | 5 | Oral surgery-implant | Peridex seemed like it accelerated healing of the surgery site. I wasn't aware until the dentist told me, but my tongue is black. | F | 60 | 2 weeks 1 fl oz 2X D | 7/3/2013 | 5 | gum infection | Slight aftertaste and differences in tastes while eating but after two days my mouth feels so much better | F | 34 | 2 days 2x's a day | 6/29/2013 | 1 | oral surgery | after a full week of use, my palate began to bleed ( assume it blistered) and became swollen causing difficulty swallowing. called periodontist who told me to discontinue use. also experienced tongue burning and foul taste. | F | 64 | 2 weeks 2X D | 5/31/2013 |
