Medications for dental care are used to treat gum disease, prevent cavities, and reduce tooth sensitivity. They work by killing bacteria, strengthening tooth enamel, and reducing pain. Common classes include antieptics rinses and fluoride treatments. Antiseptic rinses like chlorhexidine gluconate (Periogard, Peridex) are usually used as oral rinses. Fluoride treatments, such as sodium fluoride (Ludent) and high-fluoride toothpaste like denta 5000 plus (Prevident 5000 Plus), come in various forms including gels and pastes. These options provide different ways to help maintain your oral health effectively.
