Prevident is used to prevent dental caries (cavities) in patients at high risk, treat dentin hypersensitivity (tooth sensitivity), and strengthen tooth enamel that may be weakened due to factors such as radiation therapy, dry mouth, or gum recession.
Prevident contains a higher concentration of fluoride than over-the-counter toothpastes. Fluoride helps to remineralize weakened tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars in the mouth, which reduces the risk of cavity formation.
Prevident is a prescription-only dental product and should be used as directed by a dentist or healthcare provider. It is not intended for daily use like regular toothpaste in most cases, and patients should avoid eating, drinking, or rinsing for a period after application. Children under a certain age may need special consideration when using this product.
