If you are just getting started, and that setting is painful, start with the minimum setting and work you way up to half power over a span of a few days or a few weeks. The pain will diminish over this brief period of time; meaning any gingivitis will have been eliminated with the repetitive application of Periogen, which will disrupt harmful bacteria colonies and allow your gingiva (gums around your teeth) to heal naturally.

Does it mean to set the dial at the mid way point? As I mentioned earlier, I usually use it on the gentler setting. Will this allow the periogen to get deep into the pocket? Will that affect results?

Proceed with the morning and evening use and you will enjoy results shortly. After your periodontal condition dimimishes, you may use Periogen once a day or a few times a week to keep tartar at bay.

I have been using a Water Pik ultra for two years now, but I am not sure what "half power" means. Does this refer to the strength of the pulsating water? I have been using it on the lowest setting, anything more causes my gums to swell. My hygienist has advised against using a higher setting. Despite using the Water Pik, I still have few 5mm and (2) 6mm pockets. My hygienist is now talking about a referral to a periodontist. I was happy to find your blog and website. One other question: can one drink anything after irrigating with Periogen? I am hoping to irrigate before bed and in the a.m. before leaving for work.

I've been a faithful Periogen user since 2007 and have experienced major improvement in my fight against periodontal disease. After using Periogen for the first time, my mouth felt amazingly clean and fresh, and by the next morning, most of my gum pain, bleeding, and inflammation had diminished! Within a few days, my gums were completely healed and by my next dental visit, my dentist noticed that my gums were the healthiest they had ever been. There was even an improvement in my pocket depths by several millimeters. My past several visits to the periodontist have been just as pleasant and I now use Periogen on a weekly basis for maintenance. Periogen's been so effective that I started thinking of my periodontal disease as a thing of the past & forgot to take Periogen with me on vacation, and experienced a flare up for the first time in years. But as soon as I got home, I went back to my Periogen regimen and---no surprise---my gums have begun to heal once again! I love this stuff and just ordered my next shipment!

If you just have shallow pockets, you should use a Waterpik Ultra to deliver Periogen. If you have no pockets, just swish with Periogen to keep tartar at bay.
