1 | Wisdom teeth | The second it touched my tongue I was sick. Absolutely disgusting. | F | 18 | 1 days | 7/30/2013 | 1 | gingivitis | Nauseau with vomiting after a week of using it. | Leaves horrible taste in mouth, not worth it. Felt sick for 2 days. | M | 50 | 2 weeks | 3/21/2006 | 5 | Gingivitis | Slight bitter taste for about an hour after use | My periodontist doesn't have me rinse with it, it's just to dip proxy brush into every couple teeth which he claims is more effective (and so it doesn't affect my taste buds throughout the day). | M | 35 | 16 months | 9/25/2004 |
