Indications and Usage for Sodium Fluoride Dental Gel

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.
