Eileen,
I use a product called NEUTRA MAXX 5000ppm GEL 1.1% Sodium Fluroide, but there are a lot of different brands available.

It says "Rx only" on the squeeze bottle, but I get it at the Medical Center's Prosthodontics Offices (same as where my Cancer Center is located} so I just drop in and pick up a couple bottles as I need them.

I was their patient during Tx -- (xrays, eval, trays and follow-ups). I don't seem to need a prescription and at $12 a bottle I have never messed with trying to submit it to my insurance.

I think one of the girls told me that in California you really don't need a prescription to buy Fluoride of this strength!

Thanks for the info guys. I will ask my peridontist when I see him at the end of the month.

One year out from treatment, no tooth problems yet. I have noticed yellowing of the teeth a little, but nothing too bad. I use my trays when I go to bed, don't take them out until I wake-up for water. I asked my dentist if there was a limit to how long they were safe to wear, and he said no problem. They seem to help me with dry mouth when I sleep. I keep my mouth closed more and there is probably a slight hydration benefit. Normally I wake every two hours with a dry mouth, this way I can get 3-5 hours. I don't remember the brand but it has never burned. I do over-flow the trays and then spit out the excess right before I get into bed. Last dentist visit they said I had the cleanest teeth of the day!
