PreviDent 5000 Plus - Clinical Pharmacology

Frequent topical applications to the teeth with preparations having a relatively high fluoride content increase tooth resistance to acid dissolution and enhance penetration of the fluoride ion into tooth enamel.

Indications and Usage for PreviDent 5000 Plus
