Indications 

Prevident 5000 Plus Spearmint toothpaste is a prescription-strength toothpaste that contains 1.1% sodium fluoride. It is specifically formulated to help prevent tooth decay and cavities. It helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel and making it more resistant to acid attacks. 

The high concentration of fluoride in Prevident 5000 Plus toothpaste helps to inhibit the demineralization of tooth enamel and encourage remineralization. This process helps to repair early-stage cavities and prevent the formation of new ones 

Sodium fluoride in Prevident 5000 Plus toothpaste helps to remineralize and strengthen tooth enamel. It works by forming a protective layer on the tooth surface, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and acids produced by plaque.
