Don,

I was told that I will have to use scripted fluoride for the rest of my life. Radiation apparently damages the natural enamel on our teeth. I use the trays every night and if for some reason I don't use the trays I use a scripted fluoride toothpaste as directed. The fluoride gel and the toothpaste look almost identical except the paste suds up a little. I believe scripted fluoride products are detrimental for the health of our teeth for the rest of our lives. It's part of the game.
