3M ESPE Dental 70201402701 PerioMed Stannous Fluoride Oral Rinse Concentrate with Mixing Cups, 0.63%, Mint Flavor, 2.75 oz. Bottles

Product is of good quality and works well on my gum issues. I have purchased this product 4 times in the last two years. The last order was in September 2024 and the cost for ( 2 ) of the same size bottles was $9.86 + tax. I reordered this month and the cost had increased to $13.99 + tax for one of the same size bottles. My bad, my fault for not catching that when I ordered using the Buy Again option. Just wondering what caused such an increase in cost. I will pay closer attention on all future orders.

It's getting tougher to find Stannous Fluoride rinse in this form. This is the real thing and works very well.

FLAVOR & MOUTHFEEL: I purchased the mint flavor and, like many others, noticed the astringent, mouth-puckering taste shortly after use. After swishing for the recommended 60 seconds, I spit out as much of the mixture as possible (don't rinse with water or it'll ruin the treatment), then swish saliva around in my mouth for another 30 seconds (admittedly gross, but effective) before spitting again to reduce the lingering astringent sensation. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but something to be aware of. EFFICACY: This product has worked well for me. Previously, I used a sodium fluoride mouthwash in the morning after brushing, but by lunch, I could already feel plaque forming at my gumline. Since switching to this product, that hasn’t happened - my teeth feel almost completely plaque-free throughout the day. As for sensitivity, I haven’t noticed any changes yet. However, I understand it can take time for dental tubules to fully block for relief, so I plan to update my review after finishing the first bottle. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: It’s essential to follow the product's instructions carefully, as this is a concentrated formula that must be diluted before use. A measuring cup is provided with marks for accurate mixing. Here’s how to prepare it: 1. Pour the concentrate to the "1/8 OZ. RINSE" line on the cup (note: this refers to weight, not fluid ounces). Be cautious, as it’s easy to overpour. 2. Add water up to the "1 OZ. WATER" line. 3. Secure the provided cap, shake well to mix, and then swish the mixture in your mouth for one minute before spitting it out (again, don't rinse with water). The bottle contains enough concentrate for about 22 uses, which equates to roughly three weeks of daily use - not two uses, as another reviewer claimed. PRICE: I purchased the small 2.75 oz bottle for $4.83 in January 2025. With 22 uses per bottle, that works out to $0.22 per use ($4.83 ÷ 22). For comparison, my previous sodium fluoride mouthwash cost $4.98 for a 1-liter bottle, providing 100 uses at just $0.05 per use ($4.98 ÷ 100). While this product is nearly five times as expensive, it delivers 20 times the bioavailable fluoride per use. I believe I'm seeing improvements to my oral health that justify the cost. For me, less than a quarter per day is worth it. That said, I plan to shop around to see if this product is competitively priced from other sellers.

Good stuff. Just not huge on the flavor and the way it makes my mouth feel after. It’s very drying for me and almost leaves a kinda dry film on my tongue.

I found this on Amazon and I used it while going on a 3 week vacation to NZ/OZ. I recently was prescribed high fluoride toothpaste but I did not want to take that on my trip. I found this and it was very convenient to use. I used the entire bottle on this trip and I happily did not have to bring it back home. I did not love the taste of it, but heck it was for helping out my teeth.
