I had a split molar pulled and started using this product to help with healing. I found I really liked the feeling of FRESH before bed. Before bed I brush my teeth and let a tablet melt in my mouth. I find that if I chew it up it will dissolve quickly and then I swish it around my teeth and gums for a minute before I swallow, I'm able to get everything nicely coated. It has a nice mild mint flavor = won't knock out someone in the same room with the smell of mint. :- )
These received good marks from Consumer L@b, so I bought them. I'm very glad I did. My gums feel healthier and less sensitive. Unexpected bonus: my breath is better.This was the only brand in their category that was recommended by CL, so I feel like they actually contain what they say they do.I don't know the exact, technical definition for "lozenge", but I was thinking they would be hard and slippery, like a cough drop. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised that they are more like a tablet.The fact that they are not a brittle lozenge is good news because I can cut them and share the other half with my S.O. The dosage is one per day, but I really don't want to spend $46 per month just for two people on one supplement. However, if I develop some sort of tolerance and they stop working as well, we will probably start taking a whole tablet each. $46 a month is a lot in these hard economic times. But if it keeps my gums healthy, it will probably save me money in the long run by having fewer trips to the dentist.I almost didn't write that I cut them in half because I worry that the seller might read the above and decide to change the format to something that we can't cut in half. However, I am still including that tip with my 5-star review because I want other people to buy these so they keep making them. I fear they won't at the current price.I do wish they would offer a deal on, say, a 3-pack. They offer a lower price for a subscription, but I dislike subscriptions (too hard to remember/ manage). Also, I don't have Prime, and I don't want to pay shipping on something that I forgot was on automatic order.I chose the apple flavor because I usually find mint (unless it's the raw mint plant) somewhat stimulating. That's fine for the morning, but I use these after I brush my teeth at night. It's definitely an apple flavor, but there is some other flavor with it that I can't quite put my finger on. The flavor is not a big deal to me, though. They could be cayenne or garlic flavored, and I would still buy them because they don't take too long to dissolve in the mouth anyway, and they work so well.
My hygienist recommended I try this to improve my gums with probiotics.Check up showed improvement!
