Thanks! The dentist really should have taken the time to explain this. But I guess that's what you get when you have Medicaid. You don't get treated the same as those on employer based insurances. Appreciate you taking the time and helping us out!
Thank you! My dentist explained when to use it, to not rinse and not eat/drink afterwards, but I realized after my appt that she didn’t tell me that it serves as a supplement and not a true replacement for toothpaste. I was confused on where mouthwash fits into the equation since I’m not supposed to rinse and that would’ve felt counterproductive lol, so again, thanks!
Just rinse with water before you use the prescription toothpaste. Personally, I prefer Enamelon gel and you can get it without a prescription. If you are prone to cavities, it's worth looking into . It's definitely cheaper than a filling.
Awesome instructions! My dentist told me everything you said. I am here to say that I use Previden 5000 Sensitive and can confirm that this stuff really works and works well when following these instructions. I was looking for a video to share with my niece in case her dentist or me doesn't explain correctly how to use it.😁
thank you for this video! 💖omg i'm literally crying right now because i've been using prevident wrong for these past 3years! and you published this video 3years ago! my dentist actually told me to brush with this toothpaste. but i wish i was skeptical about even my dentist because then would've researched how other people use prevident. i just hope my teeth will improve now that i know how to actually use this toothpaste after your very understandable explanation. honestly i hate radioactive iodine therapy and my aggressive thyroid cancer for giving me permanent dry mouth these past 10 years.
Thank you so much!! My dentist didn’t explain this to me at all and I was about to just use it as my normal toothpaste Bc the instructions aren’t very clear!! Thanks again
Man I wish dentists spend more time educating patients with all the relevant knowledge that sits inside their heads. It's doing no good in that cranium if it isn't helping the patient! I too was just about to use it like a normal toothpaste but decided to do some searchin
This is just soooo helpful! Really good tips and very well explained. Does the booster plus also helps with sensitivity? I just bought it at my dentist office for the sensitivity purpose but researching I found out that there is a sensitive version. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😃
I rinsed 😭 now I know what to do tmrw. I’m still waiting 30 mins though. It’s only one tooth I need it for but I don’t know which one. My dentist didnt tell me
Hey! Thanks for your comment! If you know the area, if I were you I would just cost the whole area, spit, done rinse, and you’ll be good to go! Good luck! - Crissy
Hi! Question - how much should I spit after using this? I worry about not spitting enough and then swallowing the fluoride. Is it safe to swallow after using it and then spitting?
What's the proper way to spit it out? Because I usually just spit as much as I can in the sink (like 10 times) to a point where I feel like if I swallow randomly when I go to bed, I won't be swallowing any of the flouride paste.
I wouldn't say there is a proper way. Whatever you feel comfortable with. 1 time or 10 times would be fine either way. I usually only spit once. I want as much product to remain on there for as long as possible. -Crissy
My decay is trying to sneak up under my cap, any tricks? Btw love using a Qtip and also flossing to distribute product more effectively to problem areas. I have a partial and of course the problem area is were the metal clips attach, haha.
Hi Crissy, Felicity here from the UK. I've just been prescribed this for severe sensitivity. Just had a question how long when you start using will you see a difference? And one other thing is should it be brushed neat or mixed with water? Many thanks
@@DentalDork thank you very much really appreciate your reply. I'm a week in and wondered whether I was being unrealistic with the time frame. Can I ask does the 2800 work as well as the 5000?
I seem to get cavities near the gum line cuz I grind & grit my teeth while I sleep . So I was prescribed the prevident 5000 toothpaste . I hope it helps me , I like the mouth guard idea but my mouth guard is for my top teeth only it lays flat against my bottom teeth if that makes any sense.
So obviously don't swallow but say I've spit numerous times, is it more safe to swallow at that point? Its very reactive to swallow, very annoying to just let saliva pile up and having to continually spit. Mine is foamy, I feel like gel would've been better.
Hi sorry im late but i was just prescribed this and i was wondering if i could use mouthwash after using this or would that just mess everything up. Lol sorry if this is a dumb question
I just got prescribed this a day or so ago and I was not told what to do I’m curious could I do it in the morning and night? And I’m gonna need all the help I can get so if you can tell me tips etc. would be amazing also no eating rinsing and drinking for how long? Etc.
This was really helpful! These pro tips are about to change the game. Thank you! Also, do you have more info on Colgate Gel Kam is that a comparable for product?
I’m so glad my dentist never told me any of this shit nor does the person cleaning my teeth 2x a year. all they told me was I am not to use mouthwash at night.
After brushing with prescription toothpaste we should not rinse the mouth ,?? The toothpaste should be in the mouth without rinsing ? Please clarify . My doctor prescribed the toothpaste , but I thought I can rinse after brushing with prescription toothpaste ,
Please read instructions on tube. If no specific instruction, you will get best results with NOT rinsing, just spitting. Thanks for your comment! -Crissy
Do pediatrics spit and rinse after using because the instructions say to but I'm not sure. I'm planning on asking the dentist the next appointment but in the meantime i wanna see if i can get an answer
@dentaldork so I have the prevident 5000 toothpaste but I’m confused if I stop brushing my teeth twice a day(once in the morning and night). On the bottle it says “ to brush teeth throughly once daily for two minutes, preferably at bedtime and in place of the regular toothpaste” so does that mean I use my regular toothpaste in the morning and the prevident at night, instead of my regular toothpaste?
Ok thats helpful because I was told to use it after EACH meal, instead of toothpaste. I am still confused, this is a super high dose of flouride and too much flouride is bad for you, so should I be using it three times a day or just once?
Valentina, it will strengthen the white spots to help prevent them from becoming cavities, however it won’t eliminate the whiteness of them! You can try MI Paste (look on amazon) if you want to eliminate white spots. It works very slowly over time with dedicated application. Don’t stop the prescription paste though!
@@DentalDork how long should it take to work? I have been using it for 2 months now but just started (2 weeks)to put it in my Invisalign trays as I just started treatment. I put it in for about an hour each day and I have yet to see any change in the past 2 months.
Hi, I have Duraphat 5000 ppm from Colgate and the instructions and my dentist say it's a toothpaste and to use it as such, and not in conjunction with another toothpaste as you stated, does this sound correct? Also, the instructions say a 2cm ribbon, but the hole on the tube is much smaller than a normal toothpaste, so is the correct amount literally one skinny line of it, the length of my manual toothbrush (about 2cm) or does it mean 2cm long but still the 'fatness' of a normal line of toothpaste? I don't want to use too little or too much! Thanks in advance.
I would use about a size of a pea. The less you use is better. It is possible it is a toothpaste. They do make that replacement product. Use the recommendation according to the tube instruction and your dentists recommendation. Good luck!
My dentist told me to use it as toothpaste and don’t spit out medication for 30 minutes then spit out after don’t rinse and leave residue all night but I can’t hold the medication in my mouth for 30minute wtf . I just use like the web md website said . Brush spit out the med and wait 30 minutes then rinse and call it a night lol
Wow I’ve been doing this wrong Thank u for this I’ve only been using the toothpaste. Before bed And then was like umm how do I use my mouth wash now or anything So it’s good u said I can do that before hand My issue is I have severe dry mouth So sulfates I can’t do This tooth paste has sls And the other one I could get has no sls but fluoride Am I going to be getting too much fluoride ?
Do ur teeth need to be dry for fluoride to work? Or is that only for office varnishes and foams? I read somewhere if ur teeth are not dry the fluoride won’t be effective on wet teeth?
can i use a mouth gaurd and put the gel in i got 1.1 and do i leave it over night or can i rub it in with my finger and then spit or leave it longer but what do i do about swallowing if i spit ??
@@DentalDork i’m having trouble keeping it on the tooth after i expectorate 😂 my mouth just fills with saliva and i need to keep letting it out and it feels like there’s not much in my mouth after that, is that normal?
I am a dentist but even I am confused cause I myself have pit and fissure discoloration in half of my posteriors overall. So am I supposed to use 5000ppm or 1000ppm fluoride???
Why don’t dentists recommend this/prescribe this? I just found out about it from a new dentist who said I get cavities easily and should be on it. When I told her I didn’t even know there was such a thing, she said dentists don’t like to tell their patients about it?????

Not really medicaid's fault, just a shitty dentist like mine. I have employer based insurance and the Dentist didn't explain anything either.

Nope. They didn't explain it to me either. Instructions were printed on the bottle.

I got one problem after using this supplement my mouth starts to produfe so much spit idk why if u know why this happening let me know plz
I have the 3m Clinpro 5000 version.
My only worry is leaving it in for 30 minutes without rinsing and swallowing some of it. >>> Is it dangerous? 🤢🤮
Some might argue it is, but I don’t believe it is, in that small of an amount. Too much sun isn’t good for you, but not enough sun is also unhealthy!
can u use that toothpaste for braces everyday?
Yes! Absolutely!!
