I asked my dental hygienist today if I still should be using flouride trays every day. She said she used to think that it should be for the rest of your life, but know she is hearing different things. So she said it was up to me. What were you told about flouride treatments post-TX, and do you still use it and how often? Also---anyone hear of, or use, MI paste? It's a calcium phosphate paste that you leave on teeth for 3 min. then swallow. My hygienist suggested it as an alternative to flouride.
