1.1% Sodium Fluoride Prescription Dental Cream: Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions

Brand names: SF 5000 Plus

# Sodium Fluoride Prescription Dental Cream Overview This is a special toothpaste that your dentist can prescribe to help protect your teeth from cavities. It contains 1.1% sodium fluoride, which is a higher amount of fluoride than what you find in regular toothpaste. Your dentist might recommend this cream if you have a lot of cavities, sensitive teeth, or other dental problems. You use it just like regular toothpaste by brushing your teeth with it. The fluoride helps make your tooth enamel (the hard outer layer of your teeth) stronger so it's harder for cavities to form. It's important to use this product safely because it contains more fluoride than regular toothpaste. You should only use it as your dentist tells you to, and you must not swallow it—just spit it out after brushing. Young children should use less of it and need adult supervision to make sure they don't swallow any. Some people might experience mild side effects like tooth sensitivity or a bad taste in their mouth. If you have any allergies or health concerns, talk to your dentist before using this cream. Store it at room temperature and keep it away from children's reach.
