About Sodium Fluoride Gel

What is this medication?

Sodium fluoride gel is a prescription-strength topical treatment used to help prevent tooth decay and strengthen dental enamel. It is primarily prescribed for individuals who are at a higher risk for developing cavities due to factors like dry mouth, orthodontic appliances, or a history of frequent dental issues. This medication works by remineralizing weakened areas of the teeth, making them more resistant to the acid produced by bacteria and the sugars found in food and drinks.

In addition to cavity prevention, this gel is often used to manage tooth sensitivity by insulating the nerves within the teeth. It is typically applied once daily after brushing, often right before bedtime, to allow the fluoride to remain in contact with the tooth surfaces for an extended period. Because it contains a much higher concentration of fluoride than standard over-the-counter toothpastes, it is important to follow the specific instructions provided by a dentist or healthcare professional to ensure safe and effective use.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for Sodium Fluoride Gel. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Jan 9, 2026

Indications and usage

INDICATIONS AND USAGE A dental caries preventive, for once daily self-applied topical use. It is well established that 1.1% sodium fluoride is safe and extraordinarily effective as a caries preventive when applied frequently with mouthpiece applicators. Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Gel in a squeeze-tube is easily applied onto a toothbrush as well as a mouthpiece tray. This prescription dental gel should be used once daily following use of a regular toothpaste unless otherwise instructed by your dental professional. May be used whether or not drinking water is fluoridated since topical fluoride cannot produce fluorosis. (See WARNINGS for exception.)

Dosage and administration

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Follow these instructions unless otherwise instructed by your dental professional: Directions for daily use: 1. After brushing thoroughly with toothpaste, rinse as usual. Adults and pediatric patients 6 years of age or older, apply a thin ribbon of gel to the teeth with a toothbrush or mouth trays once daily for at least one minute, preferably at bedtime. 2. After use, adults expectorate gel. For the best results, do not eat, drink, or rinse for 30 minutes. Pediatric patients, age 6-16 years, expectorate gel after use and rinse mouth thoroughly. Precaution: DO NOT SWALLOW.

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATIONS Do not use in pediatric patients under age 6 years unless recommended by a dentist or physician.

Warnings

WARNINGS Prolonged daily ingestion may result in various degrees of dental fluorosis in pediatric patients under 6 years, especially if the water fluoridation exceeds 0.6 ppm, since younger pediatric patients frequently cannot perform the brushing process without significant swallowing. Use in pediatric patients under age 6 years requires special supervision to prevent repeated swallowing of gel which could cause dental fluorosis. Read directions carefully before using. If using a mouthpiece application, prolonged exposure (longer than 1 minute) may result in oral irritation, such as burning.

Adverse reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS Allergic reactions and other idiosyncrasies have been rarely reported. You should call your doctor, or dental professional for medical advice about serious adverse events. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact AvKARE at 1-855-361-3993 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Use in pregnancy

Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects Pregnancy Category B It has been shown that fluoride crosses the placenta of rats, but only 0.01% of the amount administered is incorporated in fetal tissue. Animal studies (rats, mice, rabbits) have shown that fluoride is not a teratogen. Maternal exposure to 12.2 mg fluoride/kg of body weight (rats) or 13.1 mg/kg of body weight (rabbits) did not affect the litter size or fetal weight and did not increase the frequency of skeletal or visceral malformations. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. However, epidemiological studies conducted in areas with high levels of naturally fluoridated water showed no increase in birth defects. Heavy exposure to fluoride during in utero development may result in skeletal fluorosis which becomes evident in childhood.
