Overview
Self-topical neutral fluoride gel containing 1.1% (w/v) sodium fluoride for use as a dental caries preventive in pediatric patients and adults. This prescription product is not a dentifrice. Active Ingredient Sodium Fluoride 1.1% (w/v). Inactive Ingredients FD&C Blue No. 1, glycerin, hydroxyethylcellulose, mint flavor, purified water, sodium benzoate, sodium saccharin, Sorbitol, xylitol.
Indications & Usage
A dental caries preventive, for once daily self-applied topical use. It is well established that 1.1% sodium fluoride is safe and extraordinarily effective as a caries preventive when applied frequently with mouthpiece applicators. Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Gel in a squeeze-tube is easily applied onto a toothbrush as well as a mouthpiece tray. This prescription dental gel should be used once daily following use of a regular toothpaste unless otherwise instructed by your dental professional. May be used whether or not drinking water is fluoridated since topical fluoride cannot produce fluorosis. (See WARNINGS for exception.)
Dosage & Administration
Follow these instructions unless otherwise instructed by your dental professional: Directions for daily use: 1. After brushing thoroughly with toothpaste, rinse as usual. Adults and pediatric patients 6 years of age or older, apply a thin ribbon of gel to the teeth with a toothbrush or mouth trays once daily for at least one minute, preferably at bedtime. 2. After use, adults expectorate gel. For the best results, do not eat, drink, or rinse for 30 minutes. Pediatric patients, age 6-16 years, expectorate gel after use and rinse mouth thoroughly. Precaution: DO NOT SWALLOW.
Warnings & Precautions
WARNINGS Prolonged daily ingestion may result in various degrees of dental fluorosis in pediatric patients under 6 years, especially if the water fluoridation exceeds 0.6 ppm, since younger pediatric patients frequently cannot perform the brushing process without significant swallowing. Use in pediatric patients under age 6 years requires special supervision to prevent repeated swallowing of gel which could cause dental fluorosis. Read directions carefully before using. If using a mouthpiece application, prolonged exposure (longer than 1 minute) may result in oral irritation, such as burning.
Contraindications
Do not use in pediatric patients under age 6 years unless recommended by a dentist or physician.
