It is prescription only so your dentist will either have to write a prescription or procure it for you (like my dentist did). It leaves no bad aftertaste either. It is called Butler "Protect" Nuetral Flouride Foam. The instructions for use state to leave on for 1-5 minutes. No rinse or drinking any liquids for 30 minutes after that. My radiation oncologist told me that the threat of ORN is for life. Extractions will be dangerous forever.
