Most toothpastes contain ~1400ppm of fluoride, and it is generally suggested that adults use a pea-size blob (though some say a 2cm strip).
I have a problem with toothpaste; using a pea-size blob produces so much foam in my mouth that I start to heave, consequently I just use an amount of about a quarter of that. But, in my dotage, I'm now having problems with cavities.
However, there are tooth pastes on the market now (from big name suppliers like Colgate) with anything up to 5000ppm of fluoride in them. So, my thinking is that with 5000ppm, smaller amounts than a pea should offer better protection.
Some websites say you can only get this stuff on prescription but some dodge-pots are offering it without prescription on-line.
Anyone had any experience of this stuff?
