Usage:

Prevident is a high-concentration fluoride dental paste primarily used to brush teeth, prevent cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay, and reduce sensitivity pain; it also strengthens tooth enamel and removes plaque bacteria from teeth and gums.

Mechanism of Action:
PreviDent works by using a high concentration of fluoride to create a stronger, more acid-resistant tooth surface. When applied, fluoride is absorbed into your tooth enamel and dentin, where it essentially replaces weaker elements, forming a new, tougher mineral called fluorapatite. This new structure makes your teeth significantly more resistant to the acid produced by plaque bacteria, which is the leading cause of cavities. Additionally, the fluoride actively helps repair early decay by accelerating the natural process of remineralization, pulling essential minerals back into weakened areas to strengthen them. It also has a secondary effect of inhibiting plaque bacteria, reducing their ability to produce the destructive acids in the first place.

Use Prevident exactly as prescribed by your doctor or dentist, following the instructions in the patient's medical information (or patient leaflet). Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Prevident, it is essential to discuss all possible effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects of Prevident (sodium fluoride 1.1%). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

Common side effects – The following are some common side effects of Prevident; other side effects may also occur. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Irritation inside the mouth or throat
• Taste alteration
• Temporary tooth staining (rarely reported, but seen with some fluoride products)

Other Potential Side Effects (less common):
• Dental Fluorosis: Changes in tooth color, such as white, brown, or black spots on the teeth. This occurs mainly when children under age 6 swallow toothpaste repeatedly during tooth development, and it is usually not a risk for adults.

Serious or rare side effects: These are rare but potentially severe. Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as:
• Allergic Reactions
o Hives
o Itching
o Rash
o Swelling (especially of the face, lips, tongue, or throat)
o Trouble breathing
• Signs of Accidental Overdose/Toxicity
o Burning in the mouth
o Diarrhea
o Sore tongue
o Stomach cramps or pain
o Vomiting (may include blood)

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before taking Prevident, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Prevident should not be used under the following conditions:
• Known Hypersensitivity to fluoride or any other ingredient in the product.

Tell your doctor about any medical conditions you have, past and present, before starting Prevident. This is important because certain conditions might influence whether Prevident is suitable for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Difficulty swallowing
• Kidney disease
• Ulcerative gingivitis or stomatitis

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Prevident, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, please visit the official Prevident website from Colgateprofessional.com: https://www.colgateprofessional.com/products/prescription-only-products/colgate-prevident-5000-plus-prescription-strength.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Prevident may interact with the following:
• Aluminum-containing products (such as certain antacids or laxatives)
• Antacids
• Calcium supplements
• Dairy foods (e.g., milk, yogurt, cheese)
• Laxatives
• Magnesium-containing products (such as certain antacids or mineral supplements)

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Prescription-strength fluoride pastes like Prevident are generally safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because they are designed for topical application and should not be ingested, which reduces systemic absorption. During pregnancy, topical fluoride falls under the former FDA Pregnancy Category B, meaning animal studies showed no risk to the fetus, although controlled human studies are lacking. Using the product as directed is essential, as excessive fluoride exposure during development can be a concern. For breastfeeding, it is unknown if fluoride is excreted in human milk, but the very low absorption from topical use indicates minimal risk.

Use in Children:

Prevident (high-concentration prescription fluoride paste) is generally safe and effective for children aged six and older who are at high cavity risk, as long as they can reliably spit out the product. The primary safety concern for children is the risk of dental fluorosis, a permanent mottling of the tooth enamel that occurs if a high level of fluoride is swallowed repeatedly while the permanent teeth are still forming. Since this process is complete by age six, Prevident is typically not recommended for children under six unless a dentist or doctor determines that the benefits outweigh the risks and provides strict supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions about Prevident at Canada Pharmacy Online:

Why is Prevident more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Prevident, are generally lower in Canada than in the US due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations. In Canada, provincial and federal governments negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, which often results in lower costs compared to the U.S., where market forces play a more significant role.
