I've been using Chlorhexidine 0.12% oral rinse for about a week now to treat my gingivitis. I've noticed that my gums are bleeding less, which is great, but I'm a bit concerned because my teeth have started to turn brown. Is this a normal side effect? Should I be worried? I've read about staining, but I didn't expect it to happen this quickly. I've been using it as directed, but I'm not sure if I should stop or if there's something I can do to prevent further staining. I've also noticed a change in taste, which is a bit worrying. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've been using Periogard 0.12% Alcohol-Free Rinse for a few weeks now to treat my gingivitis. It's been recommended by my dentist, and I'm curious to hear from others who have used it. Does it really help with gum inflammation and bleeding? Are there any side effects that I should be aware of? Has anyone experienced any temporary or permanent changes in taste? Also, how do you manage the staining on your teeth and fillings? I'd love to hear your thoughts and 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!
