ColgatePPAX1176035, Gel-Kam Fluoride Preventive Treatment, Gel Mint Flavor, 4.30 Ounce Tube, 1 Pack

UPDATE: Still using this product after 2 years and really happy to have bought it. My teeth are still sensitive despite not having cavities and this continues to help it out. I eat a bit better to help myself out but when I don't, this helps out in about 3 days when I get tooth pain sensitivity that doesn't seem to go away. I currently use it once a day at night and this seems to be enough for what I do. If I don't eat too much corrosive foods (sugar crystals, lemon juice/acids, etc) I don't feel any issues in my teeth, however, I can tell when I was in the habit of using it twice a day, my teeth had less chance of becoming sensitive. Have noticed no negative side effects after 2 years of use and will continue to buy this for daily use.ORIGINAL:I purchased this product after reading the reviews of how it helped keep cavities at bay. I had gotten a really bad toothache, after eating sugar coated candied belts for half a week, that wouldn't seem to go away. After a week I got worried that the pain was still there and in a last ditch attempt, I purchased this product after researching toothpastes and reading the reviews. After 3 days of using this morning and night, my toothache disappeared completely. The candied belts are still a bit sensitive for me, but using this product at night after eating them leaves no pain the next morning. I did notice some of my skin peeling in my gums and under my tongue so I toned it down to using it at night only but recently I have started up again using it both morning and night and have had no such issue. The peeling might have been damage from all that sugar I was eating (which I'm not currently doing any longer) or my mouth just needed to get used to the new toothpaste. Either way, once or twice a day, it is working for me and my teeth. I am also extremely prone to mouth ulcers on my inner lip area after accidentally biting myself while chewing. Normally the sore appears in 2-3 days if I accidentally continuously bite the same area, but after using this morning and night, I finally don't have to worry about those sores anymore. (To be overly precautious, I also used mouthwash after brushing and before using the Gel-Kam) I would definitely recommend this to anyone having toothache/cavity pain or problems with mouth ulcers.

people should really consider using more you can wipe it on your teeth at night. It would be better if we had a proper varnish.i don't really get cavities, but as you get older trust me your teeth start to just wear out. it starts with fillings and then now you really need to be careful because those allow bacteria to get in over time.I don't personally think people think about this kind of stuff enough. if you're reading this it's probably not you, but fluoride is known to work quite well to stop bacteria and strengthen teeth. This is a big deal.you should probably do the following- get a grinding guard- use fluoride, and even better if you can find a good varnish- brush, gently and floss.-clean your teeth gently after eating.- I'd also recommend a water pick. in addition to floss. I have had a dentist say all you need is floss, but all i need to do is look at what i can do with a piece of floss alone and then see what a water pick can do and know they are complimentary. i mean floss is going to pull of things because it can really get a little abrasion, but you just can't reach everything. I also add a little of the fluoride gen to the water so when the gets up in the gums some of the fluoride stays up there.fi you don't have fluoride in your water, you don't get flouride from the inside out basically. It actually penetrates both ways which makes extra precautions even more important.

I have erosion and sensitivity due to acid reflux which makes my teeth extremely sensitive and rough. So, everything sticks to them. I used fluoride toothpaste, and flouride rinse constantly and it didn't seem to make a difference. The very first time I used this, my teeth were so smooth, it almost felt like I just came from the dentist. You know that clean feeling, where you don't even want to eat because it'll ruin the smoothness and cleanliness. I've been using it for 2 weeks and it just keeps getting better. The rough spots where food used to stick immediately, almost all gone. And the sensitivity has decreased amazingly. I only use the fluoride once per day so the sensitivity takes more time to dissipate, if I used it more, I think it would be almost nil. The taste is very mild and doesn't burn like so many pastes, gels and rinses do. This stuff is a miracle in a tube!! Its a great value but it is not toothpaste! You have to brush before using it. I floss then I brush using baking soda to neutralize the acids in my mouth, then I use Colgate Total, then I use this Colgate fluoride gel. I can't get over the difference in pain and smoothness since using this product. My only wish is to change the tube to a pump. The product is very runny so it can work to coat between and around the teeth and with the tube, it drips all over the counter when you lay the tube down to brush. If you put your brush down to put the cap on the tube, all the fluoride drops off your brush. But the product itself, I wouldn't want it changed for anything. Like I said WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

Good fluoride treatment for sensitivity for those not blessed with good enamel like myself. My teeth do feel much improved from use. Why four stars then? I’m really not crazy on the taste! It’s not the most unpleasant thing imaginable but the amount of times I’ve had to fight myself not to skip using it is racking up. If there is anywhere to improve, it’s the taste.
