I've been struggling with severe tooth decay and my dentist recommended Prevident 5000 Dry Mouthmint Paste. It's supposed to strengthen tooth enamel and reverse early signs of decay, which sounds amazing, but I'm a bit hesitant because of the possible side effects. I've read that it can cause serious allergic reactions and severe stomach upset. Has anyone else tried this? I'd love to hear your experiences, good or bad. Also, any tips on how to deal with the taste or texture would be welcome!

I've been using Prevident 5000 Plus Cream (fruit) toothpaste for about a month now, as prescribed by my dentist to help prevent cavities. I've noticed some mild stomach upset, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced more severe side effects like allergic reactions or severe vomiting. The toothpaste has a high concentration of fluoride, which is great for my enamel, but I want to make sure I'm not risking my health. Has anyone else had any unusual reactions, or should I be concerned about the stomach upset? I've read the side effects list, but I'd love to hear some real-life experiences.

I've been using Chlorhexidine 0.12% Oral Rinse for a few weeks now to treat my gingivitis. It's been effective, and my gums feel much better. However, I've noticed some staining on my teeth, which is a bit concerning. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a way to prevent or remove the stains? I'm also curious about the other side effects people have encountered. Do they go away after stopping the use, or are they permanent? I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice on how to deal with these issues and whether this treatment is worth the potential side effects. Has anyone had any severe reactions to this treatment, and if so, what was your experience? Thanks in advance for sharing!
