Typical dosage for Sf 5000 Plus

There are many different dental products available that contain sodium fluoride. These products can be used in different age groups, and the directions for use can vary among them. Make sure to read the directions on the product or use it as instructed by your provider. In general:

Mouthwash or rinse: For adults and children 6 years and older, swish 10 mL in your mouth for 1 minute, then spit out. Lower strengths (e.g., 0.02%, 0.05%) can be used at home once or twice daily after brushing your teeth with toothpaste, while higher strengths (e.g., 2%) are used under your provider’s care at their office.

Toothpaste: Apply a thin ribbon onto a toothbrush and brush teeth thoroughly. The amount of toothpaste you should apply, how long you should brush your teeth, and how often you should use it depends on your age and the product being used. Follow the directions on the product or ask your dental provider. After brushing, spit out and rinse your mouth per package directions.

foam or gel for mouth trays: Your provider will prepare your tray for you, which will be inserted into your mouth after the surfaces of your teeth are dried. Bite down lightly for 1 to 4 minutes, then spit out after the tray is removed. The gel can also be used at home if instructed by your provider. To do so, apply a thin layer of gel on a toothbrush, and brush for up to 4 minutes. Spit out and rinse well.
