I my case there is a dental group at the medical complex that the Cancer Center is part of.
All OC patients are automatically patients of the dental group from DX through TX.
So, I just have to walk in and buy the stuff as I need it. It is $12 for a 4.3 oz bottle of gel.
I think you can buy it over the internet without a RX.

Is Cypress Sodium 1.1 just a different brand than what Don was talking about above? If so what are the benefits/differences between the two kinds?

Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | Yes there are many brands out there. Cypress is cheap, that's why I use it.

Are you talking about the gel that goes in the trays? Or are you talking about just the tooth paste?
