Colgate Gel-Kam Oral Care Rinse (Rx only)

  Product Overview   Clinical Research   Information   Indications  
 
INDICATIONS AND USAGE:

For daily self-applied topical use as a dental caries preventive. It is well established that a 0.1% stannous fluoride rinse is a convenient way to apply fluoride to the surfaces of teeth to aid in the prevention of decalcification and dental caries. This is accomplished by increasing the resistance of tooth surfaces to acid dissolution.

How to Use Gel-Kam Oral Care Rinse (Rx):

  • As a daily dental rinse: Pour the concentrated rinse to the 1/8 fluid mark in the mixing vial. Add water to the 1 fl. oz. mark. (Warm water can be used for individuals with sensitive teeth.) Snap the lid on and shake well. This prepares a 0.1% (w/v) stannous fluoride rinse.
  • For use in home irrigators: Prepare 1 fl. oz. of rinse as described above. Pour into irrigator reservoir and add four more fluid ounces of water. Mix thoroughly. This prepares a 0.02% (w/v) stannous fluoride rinse. Use irrigator as directed.
