Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Dental Gel MINT

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.
