"I've been using this for 4-5 years. Before that, I used the 'sensitive' version, and prior to that, I used probably the original in a tube. I started off using it about once a month and then lost my insurance and didn't see a dentist for 5 years. Then I started seeing a dentist regularly (> once a year) for 7 years and used the 'sensitive' and later the 'dry mouth' versions weekly. Then I went through three years where I hardly ever used it, rarely flossed, didn't see a dentist, but did brush. Recently, I renewed my good dental hygiene, flossing and using the 'dry mouth' version 2-3 times per week. Other than a couple of cracked old fillings, I've had two cavities: first visit to the regular dentist after not going to a dentist for years - had it filled - and the second after my bad hygiene period. I didn't get it filled, saw the dentist a year later, and the 'cavity' had filled in. I'd say it worked 'most excellently.'"

Fluoride topical "I tried Clinpro 5000 given to me by my dentist. It helped my teeth but caused me to have all kinds of stomach problems. Please try hard not to swallow it as bloating and gas occur immediately."

Fluoride topical "Makes your mouth very dry and tastes terrible. I had to use this for 14 days, and all I wanted to do was skip it. I dreaded using this every day."

"Been using for a couple of weeks, and sensitivity of my teeth has decreased. My teeth would ache, they were so sensitive. Now they do not. Also, am rinsing twice daily with Oral-B Fluorinse."

"I was prescribed Prevident 5000 for the prevention of dental caries associated with my Sjogren's Syndrome dry mouth. I started using it twice a day on August 11 with no side effects. Beginning on October 26, I lost my sense of taste after applying at night before going to bed. When I woke up 8 hours later, there was no sense of taste at all but came back within a few hours. I asked the pharmacist and my dentist and neither had heard of loss of taste as being a side effect. I will continue with the toothpaste until I am advised otherwise. Hopefully, I will not have any new cavities at my 6 month teeth cleaning in February 2024!"
