About PreviDent 5000 Kids and its cost

What is this medication? PreviDent 5000 Kids is a prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste designed to help prevent dental cavities and tooth decay in pediatric patients. It contains a high concentration of sodium fluoride, which is significantly more potent than the levels found in standard over-the-counter toothpaste. By remineralizing tooth enamel, this medication helps to strengthen the teeth and makes them more resistant to the acid produced by bacteria and sugars in the mouth.

This medication is typically prescribed for children who are at a high risk for developing cavities or who have specific dental health needs that require extra protection. It is generally used once daily, often at bedtime, in place of regular toothpaste to provide maximum benefit. Because of its high fluoride content, it must be used according to a dentist's specific instructions to ensure safety and effectiveness in protecting a child's developing teeth.

PreviDent 5000 Kids is made by Colgate Palmolive. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford PreviDent 5000 Kids?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for PreviDent 5000 Kids?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Colgate Palmolive has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover PreviDent 5000 Kids?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Fluoride Treatment?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
