About Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Dental Gel BUBBLEGUM and its cost

What is this medication? Sodium Fluoride 1.1 percent Dental Gel is a prescription-strength fluoride treatment used to prevent tooth decay and strengthen dental enamel. It is typically prescribed for individuals who are at a high risk for developing cavities, such as those with dry mouth, gum recession, or orthodontic braces. This medication contains a significantly higher concentration of fluoride than standard over-the-counter toothpastes, which helps to provide a more robust defense against the acids produced by plaque bacteria. The gel works by remineralizing weakened spots on the teeth and hardening the enamel surface to make it more resistant to erosion. The bubblegum flavor is intended to make the treatment more palatable for patients, including children who require extra dental protection. Most patients are instructed to apply a small amount of the gel to their teeth once daily after brushing, allowing it to sit on the tooth surfaces to ensure maximum absorption and effectiveness in preventing future dental issues.

Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Dental Gel BUBBLEGUM is made by Chattem. 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 Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Dental Gel BUBBLEGUM?

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 Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Dental Gel BUBBLEGUM?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Dental Gel BUBBLEGUM?

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.
