Indications & Usage
Fluoridex toothpaste is indicated for use as part of a professional program for the prevention and control of dental caries.
Dosage & Administration
• Follow these instructions or use as instructed by a dental professional.• Adults and children age 6 or older, apply a thin ribbon or pea-sized amount of Fluoridex toothpaste to a toothbrush and brush thoroughly on all tooth surfaces for at least one minute. After use: • Adults should expectorate. For best results, do not eat, drink, or rinse for 30 minutes. • Children, age 6 to 16, should expectorate after use and rinse mouth thoroughly. • Use twice daily as your normal dentifrice or as directed by your dental professional.
Warnings & Precautions
DO NOT SWALLOW. • Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away. • Prolonged daily ingestion may result in various degrees of dental fluorosis in children with developing dentition, especially if the water fluoridation exceeds 0.6 ppm, since younger children frequently cannot perform the brushing process without significant swallowing. • Use in children under age 6 years requires special supervision to prevent repeated swallowing of toothpaste which could cause dental fluorosis. • Read directions carefully before using. • Keep out of reach of infants and children. • Sensitive teeth may indicate a serious problem that may need prompt care by a dentist. • See your dentist if the problem persists or worsens. Do not use this product longer than 4 weeks unless recommended by a dentist or physician.
Contraindications
Do not use in children under 6 years of age unless recommended by a dentist or physician.
