What is sodium fluoride 5000 and how does it work?

Sodium fluoride 1.1% (5000 ppm) is a prescription-strength dental cream or toothpaste. That is far more fluoride than an ordinary over-the-counter toothpaste, which is why it requires a prescription. Applied topically to the teeth once daily, it helps strengthen and remineralize enamel, and can help reverse very early tooth decay before it becomes a cavity. It is typically used in place of your regular toothpaste unless your dentist directs otherwise.

Dentists usually prescribe it for adults and children 6 years and older who are at increased risk of tooth decay, such as those with dry mouth (xerostomia), orthodontic braces, gum recession with exposed tooth roots, a high cavity rate, or a history of radiation therapy to the head and neck. It is sold under several brand names, including PreviDent 5000 Booster Plus, Clinpro 5000, Denta 5000 Plus, ControlRx, and CariFree CTx4.

How much does sodium fluoride 5000 cost without insurance?

The good news is that sodium fluoride 5000 is available as a low-cost generic, so it is usually one of the more affordable prescription dental products. Even so, the cash price is not the same everywhere. Different pharmacies set very different prices for the exact same tube, and dental products like this are often not covered by medical insurance, so many people pay out of pocket. That makes comparing prices worthwhile.

Rx.com compares the cash price across more than 60,000 pharmacies and shows you a free discount card you can use whether or not you have insurance. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you. There is no manufacturer copay or savings card for this generic, so shopping around for the best pharmacy price is the most reliable way to save.

Safety and how to use it

Sodium fluoride 5000 is for topical dental use only — do not swallow it. Brush a thin ribbon onto your teeth once daily, usually at bedtime, spit thoroughly, and for the best effect do not eat, drink, or rinse for 30 minutes afterward. It is not recommended for children under 6 unless a dentist or physician advises it, because young children who swallow fluoride while their teeth are still developing can be at risk of dental fluorosis. Keep it out of reach of children; swallowing a large amount can cause acute fluoride toxicity with nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset, which needs prompt medical attention.
