About Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Dental Gel MINT and its cost
What is this medication? Sodium fluoride 1.1 percent dental gel is a prescription-strength topical treatment used to prevent dental cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. This medication works by making the teeth more resistant to decay-causing acids and by helping to remineralize small areas of the teeth that have begun to soften. It is often prescribed for patients who are at a higher risk for developing cavities or those experiencing tooth sensitivity due to exposed root surfaces.
This mint-flavored gel is typically used once daily after regular brushing and flossing, often just before bedtime. Users apply a thin ribbon of the gel to their toothbrush and brush it over their teeth for a specific amount of time as directed by their dentist. It is important not to swallow the gel and to avoid eating, drinking, or rinsing the mouth for at least thirty minutes after application to ensure the fluoride remains in contact with the tooth surfaces for maximum effectiveness.
Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Dental Gel MINT 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 Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Dental Gel MINT?
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 MINT?
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 Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Dental Gel MINT?
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 your condition?
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.
