The following dosing information is available for PREVIDENT (sodium fluoride):
Fluorides are administered orally as sodium fluoride or topically directly onto teeth as sodium fluoride, acidulated phosphate fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, or stannous fluoride.
To minimize the risk of fluorosis and the amount of fluoride swallowed and absorbed systemically, children younger than 12 years of age should be instructed and/or supervised carefully regarding proper techniques for use of topical fluoride preparations. When using fluoride-containing dentifrices in children 3-6 years of age, only a pea-sized amount (approximately 0.25 g) of dentifrice should be applied to the toothbrush twice daily, and the child should be instructed not to swallow the toothpaste. When using fluoride-containing dentifrices in younger children (from eruption of the first tooth up to 3 years of age), only a smear (approximately 0.1 g; about the size of a grain of rice) of dentifrice should be applied to the toothbrush twice daily, and the child should be supervised to ensure that the correct amount of dentrifice is used and to minimize swallowing of the dentifrice.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that young children should not rinse with water after brushing their teeth with fluoridated dentifrice because their instinct is to swallow; expectorating without rinsing reduces the amount of fluoride swallowed and leaves some fluoride in saliva, where it is available for uptake into plaque. Unless a fluoride rinsing solution also is being used to provide oral fluoride supplementation, rinsing solutions should not be swallowed after administration but should be expectorated once rinsing is complete.
Patients receiving fluoride powders or concentrated rinsing solutions should be advised that the preparation must be reconstituted and/or diluted as directed prior to use. Patients receiving fluoride treatment gels or rinsing solutions for self-administration should be advised that these preparations are to be used as directed and should not be used as dentifrices or mouthwashes/gargles, respectively.
