Dental Gel - Cleans Teeth & Removes Plaque Better; Prevents Bad Breath; Peppermint Flavor; NEWER PRODUCT AVAILABLE: LIVFRESH DENTAL GEL PEPPERMINT FLAVOR

I bought my first tube of Livionex in June of this year. I have been using Livionex whenever I brush which is typically after every meal and after most snacks. I have always taken very good care of my teeth. I always floss at least twice a day. Yet, despite all my efforts, when I would go to the dentist every six months for my cleaning, there would still be some tarter buildup on my lower front teeth. I started using Livionex because the idea that plaque should be destroyed rather than just brushed off my teeth made sense to me. If it worked.... And today, I am very happy to report, that at least for me, I have verifiable evidence that Livionex has significantly reduced tartar building up on my teeth after just two months of use.I waited until today to write this review because, this morning, I had a dentist appointment to have my teeth cleaned. I wanted to see if the hygienist detected any difference in the tartar level on my teeth. This first thing I noticed today was that the hygienist hardly used the ultrasonic cleaner at all, and she manually scraped very little tartar off my teeth. I did not say anything about using Livionex until the hygienist had finished cleaning my teeth. I asked how I had done in terms of keeping my teeth clean in the six months since my last cleaning. The hygienist said that there was very little to clean on my teeth and no bleeding on my gums at all. She said I had done a great job keeping my teeth clean. I then told her about Livionex. The hygienist had never heard of the product but she said it definitely is making a big difference in the cleanliness of my teeth. She showed me the notes on my chart from my previous visits spanning many years. The notes clearly showed that I always have tartar buildup in certain areas. Today, all those areas were almost tartar free. And the amazing thing is that I have only been using Livionex for about two of the six months since my last cleaning. (I think that if I had been using Livionex for the entire six months, I might not have had any tartar at all.)I am using about a tube of Livionex a month, but that is because I brush often throughout the day. Also, I probably use more than I really need because I like the taste of it. I know that plaque does not form into tartar right away so it makes sense that Livionex says that their toothpaste only needs to be used twice a day to work. I could use another kind of toothpaste some of the time during that day as long as I used Livionex in the morning and night. However, I really have grown to like the way Livionex feels when I am brushing with it. I also like the way that it does not create foam in my mouth and that my mouth feels really clean after I brush.I wanted to write this review because when I researched Livionex and over the weeks that I have been using it, I have not found many reviews where someone explained that they definitely saw a hygienist-verified positive difference from using Livionex. (A couple reviews like that exist but not many.) This product really works. Interestingly, my dentist had never heard of Livionex. He said none of his other patients have every mentioned it.I apologize that this review might not be perfectly written in terms of grammar and syntax. However, the important thing is that anyone thinking of buying Livionex should know that, at least based on my experience, this product does everything the company says it does. Hopefully, over time, the price will drop so that more people can afford to buy it. For low income people who have difficulty affording dental care or for people that have trouble traveling to a dentist because of mobility issues, Livionex would make a tremendous positive difference in their lives.Rob

I've been using this gel for about two months now. I wanted to wait until I went in for a teeth cleaning to get feedback from my dentist before declaring a verdict. I've had gingivitis for several years now (my own stupid fault) which necessitated a deep cleaning and regular checkups after that. Plaque is just plain hard to control. I switched to an electric toothbrush, which helped, but I decided to keep looking for ways to improve my brushing, and I decided to give this a try.When I brush my teeth before bed, once I wake up in the morning, I can already feel the build-up of plaque on my front teeth. After just one brushing with this gel, when I woke up the next morning, my teeth still felt as clean when I brushed them before bed. That blew me away. After using this for two months, I went to the dentist the other day, and I got the most positive feedback on my oral hygiene that I've ever received. Even my lower front teeth, which are prone to tartar build-up, had very little tartar. My gingivitis is gone now; obviously it's not solely because of the Livionex gel, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't notice a big improvement in my oral hygiene during my time of using this gel.It is an adjustment to use this gel since it doesn't foam up like regular toothpaste, but using it with my electric toothbrush, it's able to work up some minor foam action to get in between the teeth. The peppermint taste is very mild, but I really enjoy it. I followed a previous reviewer's advice to poke a hole in the foil to better control the amount you squeeze out, and that worked perfectly. This is undoubtedly expensive, but I find it 100% worth it for how effectively it controls plaque. I'm absolutely ordering another tube; this is the best I've used in taking care of my teeth.

Works as expected

I've been using this product for about 5 months. Amazing that the tube lasted this long. I guess that's to be expected when it costs what it does and you ration to the "pea sized portion" ever time. Maybe some people eat larger peas; I don't know. I expected to get three months out of the tube and have gotten more. In all fairness, I do brush with Colgate on a day or two in the week as it gives me fresher breath when I need it.I started using the product after becoming dissatisfied with the level of cleaning I was getting with my current dentifrice, Colgate Sparkling White. I also changed my Sonicare head at the same time. Immediately I noticed that my teeth felt smoother (cleaner?) after using the gel. After a few days, I went back to the Colgate for a day and indeed the Livionex was doing a better job at making my teeth feel cleaner. After a couple weeks I noticed a small reduction in the plaque build up on my lower teeth but still nothing to write home about. I also hand some staining from daily tea consumption.Off to the dentist for a cleaning.on March 1. He commented on the stains (which he did not remove) and on the plaque (which he did remove). I promised to increase my flossing. Coincidentally, I was in the process of getting an implant at the time as well. Once the implant was placed I have increased my flossing by 5X. So that throws yet another wrench in the works on giving this a objective review.Since then I have noticed a marked reduction in the stains on my teeth. That is solely due to the Livionex. Nothing else has changed. You can't floss the top of your teeth; only the sides. My stains are disappearing and I can thank only the Livionex for that.TL;DR: I have a noticeable reduction in tooth stains since starting the product. I'm getting ready to order my second tube so I'll update when I'm near done with that.PS. My dentist was very upset that I'm not using a fluoride product. I will continue to use the Colgate once or twice a week for fresher breath so I hope that the fluoride exposure is enough to placate him.
