I have one more question about fluorides. I finally got my trays and fluoride gel and prescription tooth paste today. Both the gel and the toothpaste contain 5000 ppm (1.1%) fluoride (Prevident 5000 brand). My dentist said to use the trays once in the evening and the toothpaste every time I brush my teeth. However, all the inserts for the products specify to be used only once a day; and furthermore, I have read that too much fluoride can be toxic. Obviously, I will use the trays once in the evening, but what should I do about the tooth paste - should I just use a regular one? Was anyone else told to use both trays and prescription toothpaste?
