0.63% Stannous Fluoride Concentrate Rinse: Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions

# Stannous Fluoride Rinse Overview This mouth rinse contains 0.63% stannous fluoride, which is a special form of fluoride that helps protect your teeth from cavities and decay. You use it by rinsing your mouth for about one minute each day, usually after brushing your teeth. The fluoride in this product works by making your tooth enamel stronger and more resistant to the acids that cause cavities. Many people use this rinse as part of their daily oral care routine to keep their teeth healthy and strong. Like any medicine, this product needs to be used safely. You should never swallow the rinse—it's only meant to go in your mouth and then be spit out. Keep this product away from young children who might accidentally swallow it, since swallowing too much fluoride can be harmful. If you have any questions about whether this rinse is right for you, or if you accidentally swallow some, talk to your dentist or doctor. Always follow the instructions on the label carefully to get the best results and stay safe.
