FAQs
- What should I consider when choosing a fluoride product?
Several factors affect patient acceptance, including preferred flavours, texture, ease of use and effectiveness.
- What is the pH level of an acidulated fluoride compared to a neutral?
Acidulated formulas have a pH around 3.5 versus 7 for neutral formulas. Neutral formulas are recommended and used mostly for adults because many have esthetic restorations that can discolour with APF formulas.
- Are Pro-Foam bottles recyclable?
Given that the product is considered a drug in the U.S. and a natural health product in Canada, Medicom recommend that empty bottles not be recycled but rather disposed of, as any other drug product containers.
- What fluoride treatment method takes the least amount of time?
Fluoride application is most effective when applied for up to 4 minutes. APF gel and foams are marketed as a "one-minute formula" to increase patient acceptance and comfort.
- At what age should children receive their first fluoride treatment?
Most children should receive their first fluoride treatment when they are around 6 years old. In high-risk situations, bi-annual treatment may begin at 3 years of age.
- Is Pro-Foam 2% neutral sodium fluoride a 60-second application or a 4-minute application?
The label suggests using the gel for up to 4 minutes whenever possible. However, Health Canada suggests the use of any fluoride treatment for at least 1 minute.
