PreviDent Fresh Mint, PreviDent Very Berry

What is this medication?

PreviDent is a prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste containing 1.1 percent sodium fluoride, which is a significantly higher concentration than what is found in standard over-the-counter options. This medication is primarily used to help prevent dental cavities and to strengthen tooth enamel in both adults and children. It works by making the teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth, and it can also help remineralize areas where the enamel has begun to break down.

Beyond its role in cavity prevention, this medication is frequently prescribed for individuals who experience tooth sensitivity or those who have a higher risk of dental decay due to specific health conditions or dry mouth. The Fresh Mint and Very Berry versions provide different flavor options to make the treatment more palatable for daily use. Because this is a high-concentration fluoride product, it should be used exactly as directed by a dentist or physician, usually in place of regular toothpaste once a day at bedtime.
