Just tried this last night for the first time. I woke up with some gum soreness. Is this normal and something that your mouth gets used to?

I had no difficulty adjusting to this dental guard. Before I use it however, I always run it under hot water to "soften it " for a few minutes. ThenI pop it in my mouth and my teeth make an imprint. No trouble at all. Hope this information helps.

I have really sensitive gums, so for the first week there were a couple little sore spots on the side of my gums, but it seemed to go away with time. A little bit of irritation still happens every once in a while, but I usually just take a break for one night and then it goes away.

My mouth never got used to it. I stopped wearing it because it caused a small sore on my gumline (Where the blue part covers your back teeth). The more I wore it, the more it rubbed. Maybe if my teeth were taller it would not be an issue, but from my experience it did not get any better.

I did not experience any soreness, did you adjust it to fit as snugly as possible? Mine fits on the teeth but not low enough to reach my bottom gums. I am continually surprised it's still in my mouth in the morning.

Don't know about the percentage of plaque removal as I haven't had my teeth professionally cleaned since starting to use it. However, my teeth feel great all day long and I swear that my morning breath has diminished, as well.

Hi, it certainly does. All we have used is mouthwash to date, you can feel it firing between the gaps in your teeth. Should save money on mouthwash too as you tend to use a lot less given you're only filing a small receptacle. If there is two of you wanting to use the product I'd suggest the 'twin pack', much better value for money.

Yes I have. You have to make sure that you let it sit in the denture for at least ten minutes. That way you only get a mild burning sensation and it goes away after a couple of minutes.

This is a unknown fact you have brought to my attention. Bad breath has not been an issue for me at this time.Only have been using about 5 months. Sorry, not any help for your issue.

Shouldn't be more than 2 hours; irritation of the gums. Also, use minimal amount. Do not over fill the trays.

Yes, you brush your teeth first, floss, no mouthwash, apply Opalescence PF 35% between 1 or 2 hrs if you can stand it (I do ). When I am done, take out trays I clean them softly with the toothbrush, rinse your mouth only 2 or 3 times to get the access gel off, no mouth wash. 2 things I have found out, Relief ACP is a gel almost like the whitening one but this is to soothe your gums and teeth sensitivity and it is great because it actually makes your teeth shine. Right after I whiten, rinse, I put the Relief ACP in the trays and keep them up for an hour. Also Colgate has a special toothbrush called Floss Tip Bristles, it is extremely soft bristles and it is great in case your gums are sore or burn, great investment. One more Tip Using Rembrandt Deeply White mouthwash will actually help remove wine, cigarette, and other dark fluids that may stain your teeth in between whitenings. Good Luck !!!

It's gritty... It'll rip your gums appart if you brush 'aggressively' like I do. I use it every other day or so. If it weren't for me brushing too hard, it may be used every day. Test the waters and use at your own discretion and you should be ok.

I used a colgate sensitive toothpaste a couple days before I got this one, then almost overnight it was gone. I might have used Squigle 2 days. It sure didn't feel like it would do anything. But I am still using it just in case, sometimes I feel a little sensitive thing maybe starting once in a while, but then I brush my teeth and it's fine. Just unbelievable to me, cause I don't like doctors/dentist and probably wouldn't go. So I kept reading online what other people have done for home remedies. Xylitol seems to be the key, I also bought the mouthwash Crest for sensitive teeth and use it after the toothpaste once a day (sometimes I forget too). It had the xylitol in it too. Good luck! I hope this helps. I did see a similar toothpaste on Swanson Vitamins for half the cost of Squigle, so I was thinking of trying that one next. But I definitely recommend this SQUIGLE!!!

YES! This is my first time using it so I wasn't sure if that was normal. I actually washed the first few drops off my tongue because I thought something was wrong with it or maybe it needed shaking. Now I'm scared to use it. I thought the whole point of taking drops was so I could take them directly into my mouth. (This is what I do with Vitamin D and it's fine.)

No this product causes your teeth to become very sensitive after you start to use it. And can last as long as 2-3 days. I do like the results but u have to take a little discomfort

Not really. I change around usually each night if I feel any gum irritation. I have been wearing for several years.

I made a stab at testing it for you. I put one in and let it get soft and put very, very little pressure on my teeth. Softened right up. Go for it! Yes, they are soft enough. Make sure you keep them closed up, they get hard if you leave them out of the container. They also taste great...good enough to replace 'real' gummies!

I believe so, but am not positive, as I don't have that problem. I did have issues with using this, though. Fine for 2 nights, then my jaw felt odd after the third night, so I stopped using it. So a waste of money for me.

I brush it on my teeth and leave it overnight. My dentist said if the sensitivity is bad than I should use it in the morning also, but don't eat or drink anything for 30 minutes after use. I hope this helps!

In my experience, this nutrient is essential for gum health. (Mind you, I am not a physician or a dentist.) I had gum sensitivity, recession, and bleeding for years until I tried this. I've used it consistently for a few years, taking two per day (once per 12 hours to keep it in my system, as per my online research). During that time, there was a dramatic improvement in my gums, not even bleeding when the dentist scraped. My dental visits were uneventful and my gums didn't hurt with normal brushing and flossing. My dentist hadn't known of anything that could actually rebuild gums, and this has! However, I ran out about a month ago and the bleeding has returned when I floss. This shows me that I cannot live without my daily dose of CoQ10, and this is the brand I've relied on, but I can't speak to the efficacy of others. There may be others just as good. I am in my 40s in otherwise good health. Hope this helps!
