Re: Perioguard mouthwash staining teeth?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I had two gum grafts and used Perioguard both times. My periodontist

was a little concerned that it might stain my ceramic braces, so he

asked me to use it only once or twice a day, not the recommended

four, and in a smaller amount. It ended up not staining my braces or

teeth at all. The reduced amount didn't affect my healing either.

Now the taste ... that's a different story. Good luck on your grafts!

It's ! I haven't talked to you for awhile I had my surgery

and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I have been using periogard for

that for three weeks twice a day and haven't noticed much staining.

I plan on getting my teeth cleaned as soon as I get the ok from my

os. The only thing I noticed on Periogard is after awile it did make

a couple of my teeth hot cold sensative, but that goes away when you

quite using it. Good luck with you graft and let me know how it goes.

Thanks for responding & Maddie. I have probably been way too

concerned about this, but I always worry about the veneers on my top

front teeth. They have been really durable, but I obviously don't want

to mess with them.

Anyway, you've set my mind at ease at little. After all the surgeries

I've been through hopefully my teeth will make it through this simple

graft in one piece.

Hey : I'll let you know how the gum graft goes. I went to my

periodontist and asked why she couldn't do a bone graft. She says I've

lost too much bone near the teeth and they might have to be extracted

within 10 years or so. So a bone graft is not an option. She hopes

that the gum graft will help to prolong the life of the teeth. I went

to another perio for a second opinion and he also said a bone graft

couldn't be done. However he thought the teeth were still relatively

healthy and might last a long time, maybe even the rest of my life. So

there are two dramatically different opinions for ya! Sometimes it

makes me wonder if the " experts " really know what they're talking

about. Anyway, it just shows you might want to get a second opinion on

your tooth before you do anything drastic.

By the way: Congrats on making it through the surgery. It's a tough

one. From your pics it looks like you are making a very quick recovery.

Thanks for the words of encourgement. I have tried to stay really

postive the whole time and think that had helped a lot. Well, with

your teeth I hope your second opinion is the one that happens for

you. It's always best when you can keep your own teeth. I notice

where i had my bone graft the tooth isn't as wiggley. I consider

this a good sign and can'nt wait for the five months to get here and

find out if the bone graft took. Good luck with the gum graft. I

know you will do fine.
