{"product_id":"prevident-5000","title":"Colgate PreviDent 5000 Booster Plus, Sensitive \u0026 Dry Mouth — Prescription-Strength Fluoride Toothpaste","description":"\u003cp\u003eColgate PreviDent 5000 is the classic 5000 ppm sodium fluoride prescription toothpaste — used for cavity prevention in patients with elevated decay risk: dry mouth (medication-induced or radiation-related), exposed root surfaces, orthodontic appliances, or recurring caries around crowns or fillings. Use once daily in place of regular toothpaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree variants are available here. Choose the one that matches your needs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePreviDent 5000 Booster Plus\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Colgate PreviDent 5000 Booster Plus formulation — 1.1% sodium fluoride (5000 ppm) for adults with high cavity risk. Mint flavor. Use this if you don't have specific sensitivity or dry-mouth concerns and just want prescription-strength fluoride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePreviDent 5000 Sensitive (with Potassium Nitrate)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PreviDent 5000 Sensitive variant adds 5% potassium nitrate to the Rx-strength fluoride content. Potassium nitrate calms the nerve endings inside dentinal tubules — most patients notice reduced sensitivity within about 2 weeks of daily brushing. Pick this if you have sensitive teeth alongside high cavity risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePreviDent 5000 Dry Mouth (SLS-Free)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PreviDent 5000 Dry Mouth variant is SLS-free. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a foaming agent that typically exacerbates dryness of the soft tissue; for patients with dry mouth, SLS-containing toothpastes can create more irritation in the cheeks and gums. The SLS-free formulation is the right choice for moderate to severe xerostomia (dry mouth) — whether from medication, radiation, Sjögren's syndrome, or other causes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurated and shipped by Soothing Dental, San Francisco.
