3M 70201402701 PerioMed Stannous Fluoride Oral Rinse with Mixing Cups, 0.63%, Concentrate, Mint, 2.75 oz. Bottle

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.

Great product! I have tried all the other fluoride rinses on the market and this one is top notch. The concentrate is easy to mix in the provided container and it has no overpowering taste. I also like the fact that it is concentrated and not a bulky bottle that is hard to store. Saves trucking all the large bottles of ready-to-use products all over the USA, too.

So I absolutely wrecked my teeth using natural toothpastes - sls and fluoride free- for the last 3 years. I didn't realize I had cavities (?) forming until I literally broke into a molar eating a pop tart with sprinkles on it. From outside my teeth look ok but apparently my enamel went to hell. I had noticed some tooth sensitivity here and there before this happened but chucked it up to my period or clenching my teeth in my sleep...but nope! Those were not the reasons at all. The enamel damage makes sense as I am an OJ fan and tend to eat alot of acidic things (citrus fruits, tomatoes, and fermented things) daily. Technically, these are "healthy" foods but the acid in these foods act like missiles on your teeth and keeping fluoride in your diet could help combat this. Fingers crossed on whatever the dentist says because my attempt to be "healthier" backfired spectacularly and I may be spending thousands this year (or over the next few years) repairing my once perfect teeth. In the mean time I ordered this mouth wash and pronamel toothpaste that has fluoride but no SLS (to avoid cankers). Not sure if this will help any considering this damage took 3 years to create but it has helped significantly with pain and sensitivity. To any person reading this - don't fall for the health hypes like I did and abandon fluoride completely.

This works SO WELL! I can see the change in my teeth and gum health. It was immediate.

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.

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.

It’s a small bottle but it’s a concentrate that you add water to, so it lasts a lot longer than you may initially think. Not a dental professional btw, just a regular person who’s heard how good Stannous fluoride is for gum health. It does seem to help. Flavor isn’t good but also isn’t bad, just kind of a neutral flavor. I dont think it would be a big factor for anyone. You get a little cup with a lid and you pour the concentrate up to the first line. Fill to the top line with water and shake it up with the lid on. Then use it as a mouthwash. I can mix it once and there’s enough made to use it twice or so. The best part is it’s ridiculously cheap. Even listerine costs more than this. Only thing I think some people may not like is it doesn’t leave you with minty fresh breath or anything. This does not bother me one bit though as I buy it for the health effects. It helps with sensitivity as well. Only use it once per day. Supposedly it can cause staining on teeth but to be honest I haven’t noticed much staining and I’ve been using it a while. My stains may be from the coffee I drink everyday though.

Bueno

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