Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | I used a pH neutral prescription flouride foam that I got from the dentist. 0.9% strength. It is a 5 minute application. I don't know that they make flouride toothpaste in that strength but Jerry may be better able to answer that. In office, the flouride concentration was 1.8%. They use a different method now, they "paint" the stuff on. and it just wears off. I like using the trays better but they claim this is the latest technology.
Talk to your dentist about frequency. The manufacturers instructions were for 6 month intervals! But that doesn't reflect persons with dry mouth conditions.
