Sf 5000 Plus Coupons & Prices

Looking for an SF 5000 Plus coupon? SF 5000 Plus is a prescription-strength sodium fluoride 1.1% dental cream (also sold as Prevident 5000 Plus and Denta 5000 Plus) used once daily in place of regular toothpaste to help prevent and control cavities, and a lower-cost generic version of this formulation is available — enter your ZIP above to see today's price at pharmacies near you.

What is SF 5000 Plus and how does it work?

SF 5000 Plus is a topical, prescription-strength fluoride dental cream containing sodium fluoride 1.1%, far more concentrated than the fluoride in over-the-counter toothpaste. Dentists prescribe it for patients at higher risk of tooth decay, including those with dry mouth, patients in orthodontic treatment, or patients who have had head/neck radiation therapy, to help prevent new cavities and reduce the risk of early tooth decay in these higher-risk patients.

It's meant to be used once a day, in place of your regular toothpaste, with a full two minutes of brushing, preferably at bedtime. Because it's a topical treatment, it can be used regardless of whether your local drinking water is fluoridated; fluorosis is associated with fluoride ingestion during the years when teeth are still developing, not with topical use in adults.

Manufacturer program vs. the Rx.com cash coupon

SF 5000 Plus does not currently have a manufacturer copay savings card program to check into. Since a generic version of this sodium fluoride 1.1% dental cream is available, the biggest savings lever is usually asking your pharmacist to fill the generic instead of the brand-name product — prices can vary significantly by pharmacy, so it's worth comparing before you fill.

The Rx.com cash coupon works whether or not you have insurance, including if you're on Medicare (which typically doesn't cover fluoride dental creams) or if your plan doesn't cover this product. Enter your ZIP code above to compare pharmacy prices near you.

Comparing SF 5000 Plus to similar fluoride treatments

SF 5000 Plus is one of several prescription-strength sodium fluoride 1.1% dental creams on the market. Prevident 5000 is another brand in this same category from a different manufacturer, and Clinpro 5000 is a similar prescription fluoride toothpaste with added anticavity ingredients. If your dentist recommends a generic sodium fluoride dental cream, you can also compare pricing directly under sodium fluoride.

Your dentist will typically recommend whichever formulation is covered by your plan or stocked at your pharmacy, since they work through the same basic topical-fluoride mechanism.

Safety information

SF 5000 Plus is for topical use only — it should never be swallowed. Keep it out of reach of children: accidental ingestion of a full tube can cause serious fluoride toxicity in a child, so store it carefully. It is not intended for children under 6 years old unless a dentist or physician specifically directs otherwise, and excessive fluoride intake while teeth are still developing can lead to dental fluorosis.

This product has no boxed warning and is not a controlled substance. This is general information, not medical advice — talk with your dentist or physician about whether prescription-strength fluoride is right for you or your child.
